Category:GO:0060271 ! cilium assembly

name: cilium assembly
namespace: biological_process
alt_id: GO:0042384
def: "The assembly of a cilium, a specialized eukaryotic organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole." [GOC:BHF, GOC:cilia, GOC:dph, GOC:kmv, GOC:pr, GOC:vw, ISBN:0198506732, PMID:13978319, PMID:27350441]
comment: Note that we deem cilium and microtubule-based flagellum to be equivalent.
