Behavioral genetics is a field of scientific research that examines genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in behavior. Behavioral genetics aims to answer the fundamental ...

Following my May 2022 post about Elinor Karlsson’s Science article on the genetic survey of dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project, and its conclusion that a dog’s breed does not predict its behavior, ...

From the excitable sheep dog to the aloof Shiba Inu, and all breeds in between, dogs have unique and diverse behavioral traits. By analyzing DNA samples from over 200 dog breeds along with nearly ...

Studying how all this genetic material works, and especially how genes influence human behavior, is an enormously complicated undertaking – one that's being made easier by the emergence of massive ...

The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery leveraged two main studies - one focused on ...

LONDON — A report released on October 2 by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics assesses the influence of genetics on patterns of behavior. It calls for intelligent use and regulation of genetics. The ...

Enter the terms you wish to search for. IBG's mission is to conduct interdisciplinary research and training that examines the nature and origins of individual differences in behavior. Current research ...

Because same-sex sexual behavior does not result in offspring, evolutionary biologists have long wondered how the genes associated with this behavior have persisted in the human genome, and whether ...
