It is easy to forget now but if those of us who were making a living out of watching South African politics at that time cast our minds back, we oscillated almost daily between hope and despair.
From the most multicellular of creatures (humans included) to single-cell bacteria, many organisms display activities and behavior that oscillate precisely with daily cycles of light and dark.
This result indicates that a great proportion of daily oscillating transcripts were shared between both pericarp tissues (Additional file 2).
Insects, like most organisms, have an internal circadian clock that oscillates with a daily rhythmicity, and a timing mechanism that mediates seasonal events, including diapause.
RYE levels oscillate robustly in a daily cycle, although the phase is not as coherent as seen for circadian clock proteins.
The expression of the period gene homolog oscillates with the molting cycle (Jeon et al. 1999), similar to daily oscillations in per expression in mammals and flies (Hardin et al. 1990; Tei et al. 1997).
Although the distinct relatives of Lhca/b genes, ELIP1 and ELIP2 [ 62], showed significant oscillation (Additional file 4: Table S4), only four of the eight Lhcb genes (CjLHCB1b, CjLHCB3, CjLHCB4a and CjLHCB6) showed daily oscillations, but they were of small amplitude, and none of the Lhca genes oscillated.
Intervention: Participants in the experimental group used an oscillating PEP device, thrice daily for 5 postoperative days.
The researchers found that, in the day-eaters, the levels of a clock gene called mPer1 oscillated in a strong daily pattern in a brain region called the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH), which doesn't normally do that.
