CLOCK MUTANTS REVEAL GENES REGULATING CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS Many but not all exhibit rhythms in expression of mRNA and protein Positive elements and negative feedback result in oscillation Not established how other systems are controlled (CCGs)

PRCs: LIGHT-INDUCED DELAY-PHASE SHIFTS IN an LL BACKGROUND ARE EVOKED BY CREATINE
LOSS OF RHYTHMICITYSeveral conditions, notably bright light and low temperature, lead to the loss of rhythm; has the clock stopped or is it simply not seen? Return to initial conditions results in a reappearance of rhythm at a fixed phase, CT12, independent of when the return occurs
EFFECT of WHITE LIGHT INTENSITY on PERIOD and AMPLITUDE in Gonyaulax 120 fc 380 fc 680 fc
JCCP 1957 Fig 3 After an extended period in bright LL, with no detectable bioluminescence rhythm, transfer to DD initiates a rhythm. The phase is determined by the time of transfer, as if the clock had stopped.
