title: Circadian rhythms: peering into the molecular clockwork.
abstract: Recent developments in our understanding of the molecular basis of circadian rhythms look set to provide one of the most elegant demonstrations of the relationship between the activity of individual genes and the execution of biologically relevant and complex patterns of behaviour. At the same time the lid is being opened on one of the classic 'black boxes' of biology, the circadian clock.
