Circadian Rhythms

An examination of circadian biology, presented by leading researchers in the field. It includes methods for analysis of rhythmic readouts in select model organisms. It offers a collection of protocols that is adaptable for research at every level, and represents the huge strides that chronobiologists have made over the years. The aim of Circadian Rhythms is to provide a resource that can be adopted by several types of users: those who are new to circadian biology, those who are already active in the field but are interested in learning new techniques and researchers who are considering moving to a new a model system or undertaking comparative studies and would like to consult protocols applied to different organisms before starting the study of new species. This book features a full range of methods that illustrate procedures that have been recently been introduced in circadian studies and by presenting variations to take into account the peculiarities of different model systems.
