The Period (PER) gene family is one of the core components of the circadian clock, with
substantial correlations between the PER genes and cancers identified in extensive …

Plants must accurately integrate external environmental signals with their own development
to initiate flowering at the appropriate time for reproductive success. Photoperiod and …

Enhancers are cis-regulatory elements that shape gene expression in response to
numerous developmental and environmental cues. In animals, several models have been …

Single-cell genomics permits a new resolution in the examination of molecular and cellular
dynamics, allowing global, parallel assessments of cell types and cellular behaviors through …

For over a decade, the animal field has led the way in using DNA methylation
measurements to construct epigenetic clocks of aging. These clocks can predict organismal …

Plants exploit phenotypic plasticity to adapt their growth and development to prevailing
environmental conditions. Interpretation of light and temperature signals is aided by the …

This work focuses on biohybrid systems—plants with biosensors and actuating mechanisms
that enhance the ability of biological organisms to control environmental parameters, to …

The plant circadian clock regulates daily and seasonal rhythms of key biological processes,
from growth and development to metabolism and physiology. Recent circadian research is …

The circadian clock regulates the daily pattern of temporal gene expression. In Arabidopsis,
aging is associated with a shortening of the endogenous period of circadian rhythms under …

Photobiology is a broad field of research that studies the biological effects of light and has
made huge advances in understanding fundamental questions such as how Photosynthesis …
