Quantitative genetic analysis of sleep in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2008

Harbison Susan T, Sehgal Amita

Abstract excerpt

Although intensively studied, the biological purpose of sleep is not known. To identify candidate genes affecting sleep, we assayed 136 isogenic P-element insertion lines of Drosophila melanogaster. Since sleep has been negatively correlated with energy reserves across taxa, we measured energy stores (whole-body protein, glycogen, and triglycerides) in these lines as well. Twenty-one insertions with known effects...
