Individual social behavior results from the interaction between the individuals own oxytocin receptor genotype and the oxytocin receptor genotypes of other individuals present in its social environment.

The adaptation of Arabidopsis plants to the local environment is linked to DNA methylation.

The production, validation and study of a novel rat model for Phelan McDermid Syndrome shows an ameliorative effect of oxytocin on both social and attentional deficits.

Genetic studies in mice reveal the molecular and embryological mechanisms of vocal fold development and function, thereby informing our understanding of vocal communication and congenital voice defects.

Tailoring instructive experience to individual genetic biases improves vocal learning outcomes across genetic backgrounds in the Bengalese finch.

RNA sequencing of individuals within a wild baboon population reveals extensive power to detect functional regulatory variation, and suggests that the set of genes affected by such variation may be conserved across species.

A new method that will allow researchers to visualize and genetically manipulate synaptically connected neurons in a brain circuit.

An epigenome-wide study shows that ethnic self-identification and genetically determined ancestry both make important independent contributions to DNA methylation levels.

Basal ganglia gene coexpression patterns shift across the sensorimotor critical period for vocal learning.

An automatic computer vision analysis approach can assist in the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders by using ordinary photographs of patients.
