High variability and non-neutral evolution of the mammalian avpr1a gene.

BMC evolutionary biology - 27 Sept 2007

Fink Sabine, Excoffier Laurent, Heckel Gerald

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The arginine-vasopressin 1a receptor has been identified as a key determinant for social behaviour in Microtus voles, humans and other mammals. Nevertheless, the genetic bases of complex phenotypic traits like differences in social and mating behaviour among species and individuals remain largely unknown. Contrary to previous studies focusing on differences in the promotor region of the gene, we...
