Molecular signatures reveal circadian clocks may orchestrate the homeorhetic response to lactation.

Genes associated with lactation evolved more slowly than other genes in the mammalian genome. Higher conservation of milk and mammary genes suggest that species variation in milk composition is due in part to the environment and that we must look deeper into the genome for regulation of lactation.
