A recessive mutant of Drosophila Clock reveals a role in circadian rhythm amplitude.

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor Clock (Clk) plays a critical role in animal circadian rhythms. Genetic studies defining its function have relied on two dominant negative alleles, one in Drosophila and one in mice. Here we describe a novel recessive allele of Drosophila Clock, Clk(ar). Homozygous Clk(ar)...
