Biological Clocks: Riding the Tides
Animals with habitats in the intertidal zone often display biological rhythms that coordinate with both the tidal and the daily environmental cycles. Two recent studies show that the molecular components of the biological clocks mediating tidal rhythms are likely different from the phylogenetically conserved components that mediate circadian (daily) rhythms.
متن کاملBiological clocks.
Circadian rhythms describe biological phenomena that oscillate with an approximately 24-hour cycle. These rhythms include blood pressure, body temperature, hormone levels, the number of immune cells in blood, and the sleep-wake cycle. In this paper, we will focus on common genes between species that are responsible for determining the circadian behavior, especially some transcription factors (i...
متن کاملRiding Tandem: Circadian Clocks and the Cell Cycle
The circadian clock, which governs metabolic and physiological rhythms in diverse organisms, shares common features with the cell cycle. Yet, these two oscillatory systems seem to be fully independent of each other. Recent studies now reveal that some essential regulatory elements are common to both the cell cycle and circadian clock.
متن کاملRiding the wave of biological data
Rapid progress in genome sequencing technology has seen the cost of sequencing a human genome fall by five orders of magnitude in a decade, from billions of dollars in 2000 to tens of thousands in 2010. The introduction later this year of third-generation, single-molecule sequencing instruments from companies such as Pacific Biosciences is likely to drive the cost even further down, and the onc...
متن کاملBiological switches and clocks.
To introduce this special issue on biological switches and clocks, we review the historical development of mathematical models of bistability and oscillations in chemical reaction networks. In the 1960s and 1970s, these models were limited to well-studied biochemical examples, such as glycolytic oscillations and cyclic AMP signalling. After the molecular genetics revolution of the 1980s, the fi...
