Circadian Period (τ) Database

The free-running circadian period, τ, is the period of an organism's biological clock measured without external time cues. This database compiles τ measurements from the primary literature across bacteria, fungi, plants, protists, and animals. Each record includes the mean τ, experimental light condition, species, genotype, and source citation.
