Description
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 molecular chronobiology of Drosophila has been a driving force in this field of inquiry ever since. This book describes
and evaluates all of the studies of this sort, discussing the manner by which these investigations have spread out in various directions
of rhythmic biology, including genetic and molecular approaches used on other insect species.
Audience
Molecular geneticists, clinical geneticists, neurologists, neuroscientists, molecular biologists, and biochemists.
