Evolution of Epistatic Networks and the Genetic Basis of Innate Behaviors.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jan 2020

Anholt Robert R H

Abstract excerpt

Instinctive behaviors are genetically programmed behaviors that occur independent of experience. How genetic programs that give rise to the manifestation of such behaviors evolve remains an unresolved question. I propose that evolution of species-specific innate behaviors is accomplished through progressive modifications of pre-existing genetic networks composed of allelic variants. I hypothesize that changes in...
