The field of Drosophila sleep research, which began 25 years ago, has identified more than 200 genes influencing sleep. In this review, I summarize the foundation of the field and the growing list of genes implicated in sleep regulation. I compare the genetic methods used to identify genes governing sleep and circadian rhythms and the distinct outcomes of screens for genes regulating these two highly related processes. Finally, I discuss the ~ 200 sleep-regulating genes of Drosophila in the context of recent developments in the field and voice reasons for scepticism regarding the relevance of these genes to the homoeostatic regulation of sleep. Finally, I speculate on the future promise of the fly model system for revealing conserved molecular mechanisms of sleep homoeostasis.
期刊介绍：
Fly is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus on Drosophila research. Fly covers a broad range of biological sub-disciplines, ranging from developmental biology and organogenesis to sensory neurobiology, circadian rhythm and learning and memory, to sex determination, evolutionary biology and speciation. We strive to become the “to go” resource for every researcher working with Drosophila by providing a forum where the specific interests of the Drosophila community can be discussed. With the advance of molecular technologies that enable researchers to manipulate genes and their functions in many other organisms, Fly is now also publishing papers that use other insect model systems used to investigate important biological questions.
Fly offers a variety of papers, including Original Research Articles, Methods and Technical Advances, Brief Communications, Reviews and Meeting Reports. In addition, Fly also features two unconventional types of contributions, Counterpoints and Extra View articles. Counterpoints are opinion pieces that critically discuss controversial papers questioning current paradigms, whether justified or not. Extra View articles, which generally are solicited by Fly editors, provide authors of important forthcoming papers published elsewhere an opportunity to expand on their original findings and discuss the broader impact of their discovery. Extra View authors are strongly encouraged to complement their published observations with additional data not included in the original paper or acquired subsequently.
