    #Circadianclock as #pacemaker of #life: A single clock #signal initiates #geneswitching within a #cell. This #rhythmic process regulates the #activation/#deactivation of "morning"/"evening" genes. M. Fang et al. (2026) reproduced the #circadiansystem of #Synechococcus #elongatus (#Cyanobacteriota) within a test tube.They show that the overall #complexity of a cell is controlled by this genetic activity, which might find applications in #biotechnology.
