Several genes have been recognized in Drosophila that regulate circadian rhythms. Homologues of these genes have now been found in mice and humans, suggesting a mechanism that is conserved throughout the animal kingdom. For some of these genes and their products, molecular oscillations are produced in certain cells of the Drosophila and mammalian brain. Two genes, period and timeless, are transcribed with a...
