Abstract excerpt
The Cryptochrome 1 (Cry1)-deficient duper mutant hamster has a short free-running period in constant darkness (τDD) and shows large phase shifts in response to brief light pulses. We tested whether this measure of the lability of the circadian phase is a general characteristic of Cry1-null animals and whether it indicates resistance to jet lag. Upon advance of the light:dark (LD) cycle, both duper hamsters and...
