Shrimps, flies and other animals shed their outer body covering at specific times of the year or at specific points in their life cycles through a process called molting. Working with worms, FMI ...

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 ...
