Abstract excerpt
Mutations lowering the kinase activity of Drosophila Doubletime (DBT) and vertebrate casein kinase Iepsilon/delta (CKIepsilon/delta) produce long-period, short-period, and arrhythmic circadian rhythms. Since most ckI short-period mutants have been isolated in mammals, while the long-period mutants have been found mostly in Drosophila, lowered kinase activity may have opposite consequences in flies and...
