"The controlled expression of one cellular feature -- the cilium -- was likely critical during early animal evolution. Two key transcription factors, RFX and FoxJ1, coordinate ciliogenesis in animals but are absent from the genomes of most other ciliated eukaryotes, raising the question of how the transcriptional regulation of ciliogenesis has evolved."

@cyrilpedia From a fellow scientist in a different field, I appreciated the short excerpt from the paper you are highlighting, and figure. Captures the gist of the paper, thank you!

We should all do this more often! Perhaps come up with a hashtag for this type of science communication post? Like #ScienceJournalClub?

@madamscientist Thanks for the comment, I think that's a great hashtag (note to self, need to start following hashtags on this site).
