Microsatellite instability generates diversity in brain and sociobehavioral traits.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 10 Jun 2005

Hammock Elizabeth A D, Young Larry J

Abstract excerpt

Repetitive microsatellites mutate at relatively high rates and may contribute to the rapid evolution of species-typical traits. We show that individual alleles of a repetitive polymorphic microsatellite in the 5' region of the prairie vole vasopressin 1a receptor (avpr1a) gene modify gene expression in vitro. In vivo, we observe that this regulatory polymorphism predicts both individual differences in receptor...
