12. A zebrafish Per3 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) probe was amplified with the primers 5′-CTGGG(C/ T)TA(C/T)CTICC(C/T)CAGGA-3′ and 5′-CAG(T/C)T(C/ G)ATCTGCTG(A/G)TAGGA-3′ and was used for screening a cDNA library of random-primed segmentation-stage zebrafish embryos and a cDNA library of oligo(dT)-primed maternal zebrafish embryos. A full-length and several overlapping independent cDNA clones were obtained and sequenced. The zebrafish Rev-erbα (NR1D1) probe was PCR amplified with the primers 5′-GT(T/G)GCITC(G/A)GG(C/A)TT(T/C)CA(C/ T)TA-3′ and 5′-GC(A/G)AA(C/T)TC(C/T)ACCACCTC(A/ C)CG-3′. The 17βHSD probe was used as a control (28).

31. The *AB zebrafish strain was kept at 28°C in a LD 14:10 cycle with lights on at 0900 hours (ZT 0). For most experiments, adults were crossed overnight, resulting in spawning and fertilization at about ZT 0, the next morning. Embryos were raised at 28°C in petri dishes containing 0.003% phenylthiourea to prevent pigmentation. Lighting conditions were either LD 14:10, LD 14:10 that was shifted B hours forward, LD 8:8, LL, or DD. Delayed development was obtained by keeping embryos at 23°C in LL. For desynchronizing development from the light/dark cycle, adults in LD 14:10 were crossed at ZT 3, and embryos fertilized at ZT 12 the same day were kept in LL. Embryos were fixed for 12 to 16 hours in 4% paraformaldehyde/phosphate-buffered saline at 4-hour intervals and stored in methanol. Unfertilized oocytes were obtained by squeezing mature females under anesthesia at 4-hour intervals.
