    genes regulating 24-hour biological rhythms in organisms

    Clock genes, also known as circadian genes, are a group of genes that regulate the circadian rhythms in living organisms. These rhythms are roughly 24-hour cycles in physiological processes, such as sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, and metabolism. Clock genes produce proteins that interact in feedback loops to maintain these cycles, ensuring that biological functions are synchronized with the day-night cycle.
