Veela defines a molecular link between Cryptochrome and Timeless in the light-input pathway to Drosophila's circadian clock.

Abstract excerpt

Organisms use the daily cycles of light and darkness to synchronize their internal circadian clocks with the environment. Because they optimize physiological processes and behavior, properly synchronized circadian clocks are thought to be important for the overall fitness. In Drosophila melanogaster, the circadian clock is synchronized with the natural environment by light-dependent degradation of the clock...
