Abstract excerpt
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been used as an experimental model organism for circadian rhythm research for more than 30 yr. Some of the physiological rhythms of this alga are well established, and several clock mutants have been isolated. The cloning of clock genes from these mutant strains by positional cloning is under way and should give new insights into the mechanism of the circadian clock. In a spectacular...
