Abstract
It has long been known that eukaryotic cilia and flagella are autonomous oscillators capable of generating a beat cycle independent of regulation by the parent cell (1). In cilia and flagella, the mechanism that regulates the dynein motor activity to generate the beat cycle has been a matter of speculation and controversy. As of this writing, there are three rather distinct hypotheses, each with fairly good experimental support.
