In our newest publication, published in PLOS ONE<\/a><\/span>, we show that the zombie ant fungus\u00a0Ophiocordyceps kimflemingiae\u00a0<\/em>has a functional biological clock and that this results in the oscillation of a whole suite of genes. Interestingly, certain genes are mainly expressed during the daytime, while others are active during the nighttime.<\/p>\n

UCF’s College of Science News<\/a><\/span> wrote a short piece about it. This work was also mentioned by Gizmodo<\/a><\/span> and C-Net.com<\/a><\/span>, which covered the latest publication in PNAS <\/a><\/span>from our colleagues from the Hughes Lab at Penn State.<\/p>\n
