A timely expression profile.
Molecular genetic analysis has yielded a detailed mechanistic understanding of invertebrate and vertebrate circadian oscillators, but we still know little about how such molecular oscillators are connected to rhythmic physiological processes. Two recent papers in Cell and Neuron now address this scientific issue through the use of gene chip technology to identify clock-regulated genes in an animal species.
