Genetics and molecular biology of rhythms in Drosophila and other insects /
Biological rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle or circadian clock, are an intriguing aspect of biology. The regulation of daily rhythmicity has long been a mystery, up until the mid-1980's when a key gene in the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, was molecularly identified. Genetic and molecu...

Tabla de Contenidos:
- Introduction
- Mutants used to identify cells and tissues that mediate inputs to circadian pacemakers in Drosophila
- Mutants apparently defective in central-pacemaking functions underlying Drosophila's circadian rhythmicity
- Additional mutants with defects in daily cycles and other time-based phenotypes
- Molecular genetics of central-pacemaking functions
- Places and times of clock-gene expressions
- Natural variants of clock genes, including interspecific studies
- Temperature changes and how clock-gene products are involved in compensating for them
- Molecular genetics of clock resetting by environmental stimuli
- Gene-defined functions connecting central pacemaking to circadian chronobiology
- Conclusion.
