Molecular analysis of the period locus in Drosophila malanogaster and identification of a transcript involved in biological rhythms.

Cell, 38, 701-710, 1984.

Rosbach and colleagues, including Jeffrey C. Hall, sequenced the Drosophila period gene in 1984. Full text available from cell.com at this link. Order of authorship in the original publication: Reddy, Zehring, Wheeler..., Hadfield, Hall, Rosbash.  

In 2017 Rosbash shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Jeffrey C. Hall and Michael W. Young “for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm.”

CYCLE Is a Second bHLH-PAS Clock Protein Essential for Circadian Rhythmicity and Transcription of Drosophila period and timeless.

Cell, 93, 805-814, 1998.

In 1998 Rosbach, Hall and colleagues discovered the cycle gene, clock gene, and cryptochrome photoreceptor in Drosophila through the use of forward genetics, by first identifying the phenotype of a mutant and then determining the genetics behind the mutation.
