Molecular Cloning and Circadian Regulation of Cryptochrome Genes in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

The circadian system is thought to have three components: input, pacemaker (internal clock), and output. Cryptochromes (Cry) are important clock genes, and recent findings indicate that these genes not only act as circadian photoreceptors but are also essential components in the negative feedback of...
