Abstract

In this Primer, Nabais et al. discuss the evolution of the structure and function of centrioles and basal bodies, describe conserved centriole assembly features and the diversity in centriole architecture across eukaryotes, and highlight important outstanding evolutionary questions concerning centriole assembly.
