Outside of rhythms, a role of Clock gene in human brain evolution

Posted by on Sunday, June 14, 2020 in News.

Clock gene, a core clock component is also involved in gene regulation outside of circadian rhythms. A recent study of the labs of Drs. Genevieve Konopka and Joe Takahashi suggests that Clock is also a key point in the hierarchy of molecular pathways for human brain development and evolution. We look forward that the involvement of “humanized mice” research by Dr. Konopka will give a boost of CLOCK in the evolution of human brain.
