Organisms use endogenous clocks to anticipate regular environmental cycles, such as days and tides. Natural variants resulting in differently timed behaviour or physiology, known as chronotypes in humans, have not been well characterized at the molecular level. We sequenced the genome of Clunio marinus, a marine midge whose reproduction is timed by circadian and circalunar clocks. Midges from different locations show strain-specific genetic timing adaptations. We examined genetic variation in five C. marinus strains from different locations and mapped quantitative trait loci for circalunar and circadian chronotypes. The region most strongly associated with circadian chronotypes generates strain-specific differences in the abundance of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II.1 (CaMKII.1) splice variants. As equivalent variants were shown to alter CaMKII activity in Drosophila melanogaster, and C. marinus (Cma)-CaMKII.1 increases the transcriptional activity of the dimer of the circadian proteins Cma-CLOCK and Cma-CYCLE, we suggest that modulation of alternative splicing is a mechanism for natural adaptation in circadian timing.

Genomic and molecular analyses of Clunio marinus timing strains suggest that modulation of alternative splicing of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II represents a mechanism for evolutionary adaptation of circadian timing. The online version of this article (doi:10.1038/nature20151) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. Kristin Tessmar-Raible and colleagues report the genome of Clunio marinus, a marine midge whose reproduction is timed to the tides by circadian and circalunar clocks. To identify genetic variation associated with timing differences, the authors report genetic mapping in a selection of C. marinus strains with a range of circadian and circalunar timing. They suggest that circalunar and circadian timing are regulated by separate pathways, do not find involvement of core clock genes, and implicate calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II.1 in the regulation of circadian timing.
