Related Articles [Synchronization and GENETIC redundancy in circadian clocks] Med Sci (Paris). 2008 Mar;24(3):270-6 Authors: Dardente H A network of feedback loops constitutes the basis for circadian timing in mammals. Complex transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational events are also involved in the ticking of circadian clocks, allowing them to run autonomously with their characteristic, near-24h period. Central to the molecular mechanism is the CLOCK/BMAL1 heterodimer of transcription factors. Recent data using Clock knock-out mice however suggest that CLOCK may not be as mandatory as initially suggested from data gathered in the Clock mutant mouse model. Indeed, it appears that the Clock homolog Npas2 is able to functionally compensate for Clock GENETIC ablation. Furthermore, real-time imaging techniques using different clock genes knock-out lines established on a PER2 ::Luc knock-in background now demonstrate that persistent rhythmicity in the suprachiasmatic nuclei likely arises as a consequence of combined GENETIC redundancy and strong intercellular coupling, the latter characteristic being likely weakened in peripheral tissues such as liver or lung. The present review aims at summarizing current knowledge of the molecular basis of circadian clocks and possible differences between central and peripheral clocks in light of recent findings in Clock knock-out mice.

GENETIC Engineering Food Fight by author Abra Brynne Did you know that 65 to 95 percent of processed food products contain genetically engineered (GE) ingredients? Yet because sectors of the food industry have resisted identifying these foods, and because our regulatory bodies have chosen to adopt a voluntary labelling system, many consumers do not know what's in the foods they're eating. ... ...

A group of common genetics variants that affect the nicotine receptors in the nervous system could significantly increase the risk of developing nicotine addiction. These results, which could have powerful implications for policy preventing tobacco use in young people, were published on July 11, 2008 in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are variations in the GENETIC sequence that involve a single unit of DNA. ...
