Abstract
Recent advances in genetic engineering techniques have provided researchers with new tools for investigating circadian rhythms. Much is now known about the molecular genetics of rhythms. As a consequence, researchers are beginning to understand the biochemical ‘clockwork’ which underlies these rhythms. Some of the most exciting recent discoveries are outlined in this paper.Keywords
