A color plot showing the expression level during the day in early (larks) and late (owls) strains of Drosophila. Researchers identify fly strains that exhibit morning- and evening-like behaviour. Team identifies nearly 80 genes associated with different types of behaviour Study could pave way to better diagnostics, and ultimately personal medicine, where larks and owls will receive their tailored therapies
