“…The CK1d ortholog in Drosophila was isolated as doubletime, a mutant with defects in circadian rhythms (Kloss et al, 1998;Price et al, 1998). A conserved pathway comprising doubletime, period, and timeless regulate circadian rhythms in most animals (Young and Kay, 2001) and regulate heterochronic gene expression in nematodes (Rhodehouse et al, 2018;Temmerman et al, 2011;Tennessen et al, 2006Tennessen et al, , 2010. In nematodes, the knockdown of kin-20 by RNA interference promoted the formation of precocious, stage-specific cuticle structures called alae (Banerjee et al, 2005;Rhodehouse et al, 2018).…”
