At a time when most 'Nobel watchers' expected the much coveted prize in physiology or medicine to go to CRISPR technology or even to immunotherapy, the announcement to award discoveries made using fruit flies, in deciphering the molecular underpinnings of the fundamental biological process of timekeeping, is reassuring to scientists engaged in basic research across the world.

Abstract


At a time when most 'Nobel watchers' expected the much coveted prize in physiology or medicine to go to CRISPR technology or even to immunotherapy, the announcement to award discoveries made using fruit flies, in deciphering the molecular underpinnings of the fundamental biological process of timekeeping, is reassuring to scientists engaged in basic research across the world.
