Talk:Period (gene)

The name of the article
Should this article be moved to period (gene)? Also, PER with capital letters is sometimes used for the protein that per encodes. --Heida Maria 23:33, 20 May 2007 (UTC) I Agree. lowercase letters denote mRNA and uppercase letters denote protein. --PranjalAgr (talk) 09:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I renamed it. --Heida Maria 23:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Function in the Circadian Clock
I feel like this section could really use a concise, cited figure (perhaps from a review). Then the text could be rewritten to work with the figure and communicate more clearly and concisely.

I still feel like this section needs a figure, if someone knows how to design or properly cite a figure here. The citation needed after the second sentence regarding the 6-hour phase difference for per mRNA and PER protein--I looked for a while but I couldn't find this difference.

Discovery
This section could use more information on the process of understanding per's role in the clock, as well as the other mutants discovered since the original three. Also, Konopka's notation looked more like s, l, and o (naught) rather than S, L, and 01 (which is from first reference), but I stuck to the notation in the opening paragraph for consistency.

Figures on the Right
I hate to remove them because they look so classy, but I think these figures link to the human genes and not the Drosophila gene period. Perhaps these boxes could be replaced by one box of the same format that links to the Drosophila gene?

moving content to PER2 article
I feel like while it is all well and good to list and compare homologs between systems, there is a fair amount of information on this page that belongs on the mammalian per2 page instead... Clock39 (talk) 08:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Per in humans
I thought there was a PER gene in humas too, now I realize is PER1. The article confused me, any way to add a link or disambiguation to human PER1? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chibs007 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
