The Molecular Evolution of Circadian Clock Genes in Spotted Gar (<i>Lepisosteus oculatus</i>)

Circadian rhythms are biological rhythms with a period of approximately 24 h. While canonical circadian clock genes and their regulatory mechanisms appear highly conserved, the evolution of clock gene families is still unclear due to several rounds of whole genome duplication in vertebrates. The spo...
