Abstract
Yong and Edery identify an anti-siesta gene in Drosophila, hereinafter termed daywake, that is regulated in an unprecedented manner by splicing of the cold-enhanced dmpi8 intron from the reverse-oriented and slightly overlapping period clock gene. The dmpi8-dyw unit stimulates midday activity on days that carry less risks from heat exposure.
