Zebrafish screen of high-confidence effector genes at insomnia GWAS loci implicates conserved regulators of sleep-wake behaviors

Amber J. Zimmerman, Fusun Doldur-Balli, Brendan T Keenan, Zoe Y. Shetty, Justin Palermo, Alessandra Chesi, Shilpa Sonti, Matthew C. Pahl, Elizabeth Brown, James A. Pippin, Andrew D. Wells, Olivia J. Veatch, Diego R. Mazzotti, Anitra Krishnan, Phillip R. Gehrman, , Allan I Pack

The paper identifies conserved genes at insomnia GWAS loci using zebrafish CRISPR screens and chromatin interaction data, finding that MEIS1 and SKIV2L mutations produce insomnia-like behaviors.
