Joubert syndrome gene fam149b1 homolog, xbx-4, is required for multiple sensory behaviors.
mutants increased reversal behavior in response to ethanol, a control stimulus used in olfactory assays. Variation in the magnitude of phenotypes for different neurons is consistent with known cell-specific impacts of XBX-4 loss on cilium structure.
