Abstract excerpt
Of the mutationally defined rhythm genes in Drosophila melanogaster, period (per) has been studied the most. We have molecularly characterized three older per mutants-perT, perClk, and per04-along with a novel long-period one (perSLIH). Each mutant is the result of a single nucleotide change. per...
