Biological clocks are autonomous anticipatory oscillators that play a critical role in the
organization and information processing from genome to whole organisms. Transformative …

BACKGROUND Life-forms ranging from bacteria to humans are programmed by circadian
clocks—mechanisms that impose an~ 24-hour rhythmicity on biology in harmony with …

Circadian clocks coordinate physiology and behavior with the 24h solar day to provide
temporal homeostasis with the external environment. The molecular clocks that drive these …

Circadian clocks control the daily life of most light-sensitive organisms—from cyanobacteria
to humans. Molecular processes generate cellular rhythmicity, and cellular clocks in animals …

Circadian clocks are cell-autonomous timing mechanisms that organize cell functions in a
24-h periodicity. In mammals, the main circadian oscillator consists of transcription …

All biological processes, living organisms, and ecosystems have evolved with the Sun that
confers a 24-hour periodicity to life on Earth. Circadian rhythms arose from evolutionary …

An intrinsic clock enables an organism to anticipate environmental changes and use energy
sources more efficiently, thereby conferring an adaptive advantage. Having an intrinsic clock …

Biological clocks are genetically encoded oscillators that allow organisms to anticipate
changes in the light–dark environment that are tied to the rotation of Earth. Clocks enhance …

All living organisms have time-measuring devices that affect their development, generation
time, lifespan and lifestyle. These biological timers can be categorized into hourglasses and …

Life on earth is shaped by the 24-h rotation of our planet around its axes. To adapt behavior
and physiology to the concurring profound but highly predictable changes, endogenous …
