Regulation of per and cry genes reveals a central role for the D-box enhancer in light-dependent gene expression.
Light serves as a key environmental signal for synchronizing the circadian clock with the day night cycle. The zebrafish represents an attractive model for exploring how light influences the vertebrate clock mechanism. Direct illumination of most fish tissues and cell lines induces expression of a b...
