Read excerpt
In April 2005 a group in Nagoya published a two-page paper that should have ended the conversation about what a clock is.They took three proteins out of a cyanobacterium, a pond organism about two micrometres long.

Ed Note: This is the second half of a pair. The first, The Swiss Disease, was about losing home. This one is about the only thing I have found that builds it.
