Abstract excerpt
The circadian mutation duper in Syrian hamsters shortens the free-running circadian period (τ(DD)) by 2 hours when expressed on a tau mutant (τ(ss)) background and by 1 hour on a wild-type background. We have examined the effects of this mutation on phase response curves and entrainment. In contrast to wild types, duper hamsters entrained to 14L:10D with a positive phase angle. Super duper hamsters (expressing...
