Photoperiodic time-series mRNASeq assays of the sheep pars tuberalis

Accurate timing and anticipation of seasonal changes are required to initiate physiological adaptations over the course of the year such as hibernation, changes in metabolism, fattening and reproductive activity. To achieve this, organisms have evolved complex seasonal timekeeping systems that rely on day length sensing (photoperiodism). The aim of this project is to investigate the role of the circadian clock in photoperiodism within the crucial photoperiod sensing tissue the pars tuberalis.
