Description:
The genomic basis of circadian and circalunar timing adaptations in a midge Nature 540, 7631 (2016). doi:10.1038/nature20151 Authors: Tobias S. Kaiser, Birgit Poehn, David Szkiba, Marco Preussner, Fritz J. Sedlazeck, Alexander Zrim, Tobias Neumann, Lam-Tung Nguyen, Andrea J.

We sequenced the genome of Clunio marinus,
