Many of the known molecular components of the Drosophila melanogaster circadian clock share the property of being rhythmically transcribed. To discover additional clock components, we performed microarrays experiments to search the fly transcriptome for rhythmically transcribed genes. Below are links to our raw microarray data and to our paper, in which a detailed description of the experiments and results may be found.
