The evolutionarily conserved EHMT1/G9a histone methyltransferase family regulates sleep maintenance through ROS homeostasis in insulin-producing cells

It is shown that G9a is required in insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and the fat body, in the latter during development, to ensure adult sleep integrity, and that a Drosophila sleep-restriction paradigm based on human sleep-restriction therapy can override the developmental defects and restore sleep continuity in adultho...
