About CiliAI

A suite of tools for exploring ciliary biology: ask plain-language questions, analyze gene lists, and browse curated data.

CiliAI: Gene Explorer

Ask questions about ciliary genes in plain language

CiliAI is an AI assistant for exploring ciliary biology. You can ask questions in plain language about any ciliary gene, structure, disease, or protein complex, and CiliAI will answer using a curated database of ciliary gene annotations.

Example questions
What is IFT88? What does ARL13B do? Genes in the transition zone What is the BBSome complex? Joubert Syndrome gene list What genes cause PCD? Conservation of IFT88 Genes with WD40 domains

Cilia Analysis

Visualize and analyze your gene lists

Cilia Analysis lets you submit a list of genes and explore them in the context of ciliary biology. It helps you quickly understand whether your gene list is enriched in ciliary functions, and how your genes relate to known ciliary structures and diseases.

Ciliary gene enrichment
Expression heatmap
Single-cell RNA-seq (lung)
Ciliopathy & disease associations
Subcellular localization
Protein domain architecture
Protein complex membership
Phylogenetic conservation
Mouse phenotype enrichment
CRISPR & siRNA screen results

CiliaHub

Curated database of gold standard ciliary genes

CiliaHub is a searchable database of genes with well-established roles in cilia. Search by gene name to view detailed annotations including subcellular localization, disease associations, complex memberships, and expression data. The full dataset is also available for download.
