Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Biological timing mechanisms that integrate cyclical and successive processes are not well understood. C. elegans molting cycles involve rhythmic cellular and animal behaviors linked to the periodic reconstruction of cuticles. Molts are coordinated with successive transitions in the temporal fates of epidermal blast cells, which are programmed by genes in the heterochronic regulatory network. It was...
