PERIOD2::LUCIFERASE real-time reporting of circadian dynamics reveals persistent circadian oscillations in mouse peripheral tissues
Seung Hee Yoo,Shin Yamazaki,Shin Yamazaki,Phillip L. Lowrey,Kazuhiro Shimomura,Caroline H. Ko,Caroline H. Ko,Ethan D. Buhr,Sandra M. Siepka,Hee Kyung Hong,Won Jun Oh,Ook Joon Yoo,Michael Menaker,Joseph S. Takahashi +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that peripheral tissues express self-sustained, rather than damped, circadian oscillations and the existence of organ-specific synchronizers of circadian rhythms at the cell and tissue level is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Collaborative Cross will provide a common reference panel specifically designed for the integrative analysis of complex systems and will change the way the authors approach human health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positional Syntenic Cloning and Functional Characterization of the Mammalian Circadian Mutation tau
Phillip L. Lowrey,Kazuhiro Shimomura,Marina P. Antoch,Shin Yamazaki,Peter D. Zemenides,Martin R. Ralph,Michael Menaker,Joseph S. Takahashi +7 more
TL;DR: The tau mutation is a semidominant autosomal allele that dramatically shortens period length of circadian rhythms in Syrian hamsters and the mechanism by which the mutation leads to the observed aberrant circadian phenotype in mutant animals is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This white paper by eighty members of the Complex Trait Consortium presents a community's view on the approaches and statistical analyses that are needed for the identification of genetic loci that determine quantitative traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian Circadian Autoregulatory Loop: A Timeless Ortholog and mPer1 Interact and Negatively Regulate CLOCK-BMAL1-Induced Transcription
Ashvin M. Sangoram,Lino Saez,Marina P. Antoch,Nicholas Gekakis,David Staknis,Andrew R. Whiteley,Ethan M. Fruechte,Martha Hotz Vitaterna,Kazuhiro Shimomura,Kazuhiro Shimomura,David P. King,Michael W. Young,Charles J. Weitz,Joseph S. Takahashi,Joseph S. Takahashi +14 more
TL;DR: The cloning and mapping of mouse (mTim) and human (hTIM) orthologs of the Drosophila timeless gene demonstrate that mTim and hTIM are mammalian orthology of timeless and provide a framework for a basic circadian autoregulatory loop in mammals.
