Glad to say that the first author manuscript from Mehran
is now live on BioRxiv (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.27.728351v1). This is part of his PhD work exploring how a group of seemingly pigment-synthesis genes may control #sleep and #circadian rhythm in #Drosophila

I am happy announce that our manuscript preprint from my PhD work is now available.

My research (and this manuscript) focuses on investigating the role oculocutaneous albinism-associated genes in regulating sleep and circadian rhythm. I am further focusing on one of the genes reported here (lovit), and how it regulates sleep. Another interesting manuscript to follow soon.
