Abstract

Experiments indicate that inputs to circadian clocks can be regulated in a rhythmic manner.

  • Circadian clocks are composed of inputs, an oscillator, and outputs that manage circadian rhythms.
  • Assigning specific molecular components to these elements is challenging.
  • Mathematical simulations suggest that altering the expression levels of certain gene products may lead to disrupted rhythms, regardless of their role in the oscillator or input pathways.
  • Traditional circadian entrainment protocols were applied to the genetic model system, Neurospora crassa, to further explore these dynamics.
