The thymus is similar to the testis in its pattern of circadian clock gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

The molecular basis for the circadian clock in mammals consists of a number of genes and proteins that form transcription-translation feedback loops. These loops result in a 24-h rhythm in the expression of mRNA and protein levels. Although the anatomical site of the central circadian clock is the SCN of the hypothalamus, all of the circadian clock genes are expressed in tissues other than the brain. Moreover,...
