Researchers have advanced our understanding of the circadian clock, the biological cycle that synchronizes with light-dark exposure. They recently developed a method to study how the circadian clock ...

Using combined approaches of genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology and functional genomics, the field of circadian biology has identified hundreds of new clock genes and modifiers during the past ...
