Like the day night cycle, tides are a regular occurance that creatures have evolved to anticipate. But how, and what might the genetic basis of this be? Here, using CRISPR, @LabEmery find a circatidal clock role for the traditionally circadian Bmal1: cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Behavioral circatidal rhythms require Bmal1 in Parhyale hawaiensis

Animals living near the coastline rely on circatidal clocks to predict the tides. The mechanism underlying these timers is not known. Kwiatkowski et al. introduce P. hawaiensis as a model to study...

Ratna Chaturvedi from Emery Lab @UMassChan & her collaborators at OHSU Vollum Institute recently published their findings in Current Biology showing that the astrocytic GABA transporter GAT controls sleep by regulating GABA tone on wake-promoting circadian neurons in Drosophila.
