Genetic Characterization of MAOA and OXTR in Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla).

American journal of primatology - 1 Jun 2026

Mueller-Hill Hadley, Taglialatela Jared

Abstract excerpt

Social behavior in primates varies widely within and across species, and growing work in behavioral genetics highlights the value of documenting sequence variation in neurobiologically relevant genes. However, for great apes, knowledge of individual genetic variation for behavior-associated loci remains limited. We characterized variation in the MAOA promoter VNTR and the OXTR SNP rs35062132 in 12 western lowland...
