We introduce Group Isolation Gauge Effect Metrics (GIGEM), a high-throughput software suite for Drosophila sleep analysis designed to manage large population datasets from multi-batch experiments. In this study, we characterized social isolation-induced sleep phenotypes across 38 Sleep Inbred Panel (SIP) lines after both acute and chronic social isolation. Beyond this specific study, GIGEM is broadly suited for...
