The S2 cell line is a popular Drosophila cell line, which is widely used in the fields of cell biology and biochemistry. By measuring a traditional reporter and canonical clock genes expression, it seemed that this cell line lacked a circadian rhythm. However, when omics approaches were applied, circadian rhythms were detected at all levels from gene expression to the metabolism.
