Circadian clock mechanism driving mammalian photoperiodism
“Life in a seasonal environment requires appropriate timing of physiological changes to survive, but how the circadian clockwork times these changes remains unclear. Here the authors show that the circadian clock genes BMAL2 and DEC1, in concert with epigenetic pathways in the pituitary, have a cent...
