Abstract excerpt
The 1st circadian "clock" gene identified was the X-linked period (per) gene in Drosophila melanogaster. In the pioneering initial report, Konopka and Benzer (1971) characterized 3 alleles of per that shortened (per (S); approximately 19 h), lengthened (per (L); approximately 29 h), or abolished...
