In this article, Biomedical Statistical Consulting's (BSC) Biostatistician Brendan Keenan and co-authors confirmed a previously unreported gene affecting sleep duration in mouse models.

The authors confirm a previously unreported gene, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (Dpyd), using activity patterns to quantify sleep in 325 Diversity Outbred.

Excellent job Brendan and co-authors!
