Application of genetic variants (Sections II–IV, VI, and IX) and molecular manipulations of
rhythm-related genes (Sections V–X) have been used experimentally to investigate features …

▪ Abstract The first part of this review summarizes the two best understood aspects of the two
best understood circadian systems, the feedback oscillators of Neurospora and Drosophila …

The threonine-glycine (Thr-Gly) encoding repeat within the clock gene period of Drosophila
melanogaster is polymorphic in length. The two major variants (Thr-Gly) 17 and (Thr-Gly) 20 …

Drosophila melanogaster invaded Australia around 100 years ago, most likely through a
northern invasion. The wide range of climatic conditions in eastern Australia across which D …

The dissection of the circadian clock into its molecular components represents the most
striking and well-studied example of a gene regulatory network underlying a complex …

A critical seasonal event for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is
the time at which adults migrate from the ocean to breed in freshwater. We investigated …

TIMELESS (TIM) was first identified as a molecular cog in the Drosophila circadian clock.
Almost three decades of investigations have resulted in an insightful model describing the …

The period gene is a key regulator of biological rhythmicity in Drosophila melanogaster. The
central part of the gene encodes a dipeptide Thr-Gly repeat that has been implicated in the …

In the not too distant past, it was common belief that rhythms in the physical environment
were the driving force, to which organisms responded passively, for the observed daily …

The period (per) gene in Drosophila melanogaster provides an integral component of
biological rhythmicity and encodes a protein that includes a repetitive threonine-glycine (Thr …
