The circadian clock is a widespread cellular mechanism that underlies diverse rhythmic
functions in organisms from bacteria and fungi, to plants and animals. Intense genetic …

The molecular mechanism of circadian clocks has been unraveled primarily by the use of
phenotype-driven (forward) genetic analysis in a number of model systems. We are now in a …

The organization of biological activities into daily cycles is universal in organisms as diverse
as cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, plants, flies, birds and man. Comparisons of circadian clocks …

The 24-hour rhythms of the circadian clock [1] allow an organism to anticipate daily
environmental cycles, giving it a competitive advantage [2, 3]. Although clock components …

▪ Abstract Circadian rhythms are found in most eukaryotes and some prokaryotes. The
mechanism by which organisms maintain these roughly 24-h rhythms in the absence of …

This review examines the connections between circadian and metabolic rhythms. Examples
from a wide variety of well-studied organisms are used to illustrate some of the genetic and …

The mammalian circadian system is a complex hierarchical temporal network which is
organized around an ensemble of uniquely coupled cells comprising the principal circadian …

Circadian rhythms have been observed in diverse organisms, including plants, animals,
bacteria, and fungi. In such organisms, the circadian clock is primarily composed of a cell …

My own motivation to put this book together came, at least in part, from the number of
circadian biology queries I started receiving from students (graduate, undergraduate, and, in …
