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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers analyze 2.2 million genomes to show that addiction risk is primarily driven by broad genes affecting brain wiring and impulse control, not drug-specific traits.

IBG's mission is to conduct interdisciplinary research and training that examines the nature and origins of individual differences in behavior. Current research at IBG uses large scale family, twin, ...

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 ...

An eye-opening genetic study recently published in Science Advances explores the genetic connection between human bisexual behavior and a previously unknown reproductive advantage. Ph.D. student ...

Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process ...
