Abstract excerpt
Circadian rhythms represent a type of cellular regulation common to most eukaryotes. Analysis of the genetic basis of this phenomenon is beginning to provide information about how clocks function at the molecular level. Surprisingly, the first two cloned 'clock genes', one from a fruit fly and one from a fungus, share some common characteristics both genetically and in the nature of the proteins they encode. In...
