Total / Good linking to CK2. Nice addition of the CK1d box and comparisons to DBT. I don't agree with your use of "Casein kinase 1 epsilon and casein kinase 1 delta are essential in the genetic transcription-translation feedback loops that generate circadian rhythm in mammals." since they are not required for circadian rhythms. Check out this paper: Modeling of a human circadian mutation yields insights into clock regulation by PER2.
