Dissection of central clock function in Drosophila through cell-specific CRISPR-mediated clock gene disruption

In Drosophila, ~150 neurons expressing molecular clock proteins regulate circadian behavior. Sixteen of these neurons secrete the neuropeptide Pdf and have been called ‘master pacemakers’ because they are essential for circadian rhythms. A subset of Pdf+ neurons (the morning oscillator) regulates mo...
