PublicationsReview: Frankel J. 2008. What do genic mutations tell us about the structural patterning of a complex single-celled organism? Eukaryot Cell 7(10):1617-39, Fig. 5A.
CommentsCiliary rows helically wound around the cell. Expression is not temperature-sensitive. Note that this gene was published under the name TWI1, and later renamed SCR1 to avoid confusion with the piwi-homologue that had previously been named TWI1.
