Abstract excerpt

The Clock (Clk) mutation shortens circadian rhythms of locomotor activity and eclosion from ca. 24 h to 22.5-23 h. Clk was previously mapped, by meiotic recombination, very close to the period(per) locus on the X chromosome. To determine whether Clk is a mutation within the per gene or if the for...
