The per locus of Drosophila melanogaster has a fundamental role in the construction or maintenance of a biological clock. Three classes of per mutations have been identified: perl mutants have circadian behavioural rhythms with a 29-h rather than a 24-h period, pers mutants have short-period rhythms of 19 h, and per0 mutants have no detectable circadian rhythms1–4. Each of these mutations has a corresponding influence on the 55-s periodicity of male courtship song5. Long-and short-period… CONTINUE READING
