LKB1 is physiologically required for sleep from Drosophila melanogaster to the Mus musculus

STE20 phosphorylation of AMPK related kinases revealed by biochemical purifications combined with genetics

Biochemical purification uncovers mammalian sterile 3 (MST3) as a new protein kinase for multifunctional protein kinases AMPK and SIK3

Molecular resolution of a behavioral paradox: sleep and arousal are regulated by distinct acetylcholine receptors in different neurons of Drosophila

Genetic analysis of human contour integration by the laboratories of Fang Fang and Yi Rao

Yi Rao's Lab: 'D-Serine made by serine racemase in Drosophila intestine plays a physiological role in sleep' published on Nature Communications

Yi Rao's Lab: 'Chemoconnectomics: Mapping Chemical Transmission in Drosophila' published on Neuron

Yi Rao’s group indicate that 5-HT is important for sleep regulation but not thermoregulation
