The Basal Body is the template for the axoneme, the internal scaffolding of cilia andflagella. Bettencourt‐Dias and colleagues comment on an article by DavidAgard's group, in which they characterize the structure of the basal body byelectron cryo‐tomography and reveal new clues into its biogenesis and function.
