Abstract excerpt

Substantial progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of temperature-compensated circadian clocks. Ultradian rhythms, with a period shorter than 24 h, are at least as widespread as circadian rhythms. We have initiated genetic analysis of defecation behavior, which is controlled by...
