From cyanobacteria to mammals, organisms have evolved timing mechanisms to adapt to environmental changes in order to optimize survival and improve fitness. To anticipate these regular daily cycles, many organisms manifest near 24-h cell-autonomous oscillations that are sustained by transcription–translation-based or post-transcriptional negative feedback loops that control a wide range of biological processes. With an eye to identifying emerging common themes among cyanobacterial, fungal and animal clocks, some major recent developments in the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate these oscillators and their output are discussed. These include roles for antisense transcription, intrinsically disordered proteins, codon bias in clock genes, and a more focused discussion of post-transcriptional and translational regulation as a part of both the oscillator and output.
