Insect models of different orders and their clock genes. PER (PERIOD), CRY (CRYPTOCHROME) 1 and 2, TIM1 (TIMELESS) and TIM2 (TIMEOUT), CLK (CLOCK), CYC (CYCLE), PDP1 (PAR Domain Protein 1), VRI (VRILLE), CWO (CLOCKWORK ORANGE), JET (JETLAG), and the neuropeptide PDF (Pigment Dispersing Factor). Genes encoding these clock components are marked as present (√), absent (x) in genome or unknown (?).
