Duper: a mutation that shortens hamster circadian period.

Journal of biological rhythms - 1 Aug 2011

Monecke Stefanie, Brewer Judy McKinley, Krug Stefanie, Bittman Eric L

Abstract excerpt

Three animals born to homozygous tau mutant (τ(ss), "super short") Syrian hamsters showed extremely short free-running periods of locomotor activity (τ(DD) of approximately 17.8 hours). Inbreeding produced 33 such "super duper" animals, which had a τ(DD) of 18.09 ± 0.05 hours, which was shorter than that of τ(ss) hamsters (20.66 ± 0.07 hours, p < 0.001). To test the hypothesis that a gene (Duper) is responsible...
