New mRNA Biomarker Test May Show if a Driver is Sleep Deprived

Scientists from the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey say they used a   machine learning algorithm to identify a subset of 68 genes to detect with 92% accuracy whether a blood sample was from a sleep-deprived or well-rested individual.The study (“ Identifying and validating blood mRNA biomarkers for acute and chronic insufficient sleep in humans: a machine learning approach ”) appears in the journal Sleep.“Acute and chronic insufficient sleep are assoc
