(Submitter supplied) The evolution of innate behaviors is ultimately due to genetic variation likely acting in the nervous system. Gene regulation may be particularly important because it can evolve in a modular brain-region specific fashion through the concerted action of cis- and trans-regulatory changes. Here, to investigate transcriptional variation and its regulatory basis across the brain, we perform RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on ten brain subregions in two sister species of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus and P. more...

(Submitter supplied) How evolution modifies complex, innate behaviors is largely unknown. Divergence in many morphological traits has been linked, at least in part, to cis-regulatory changes in gene expression, a pattern also observed for some behaviors in recently diverged populations. Given this, we compared the gene expression in the brains of two interfertile sister species of Peromyscus mice, including allele-specific expression (ASE) of their F1 hybrids, that show large and heritable differences in burrowing behavior. more...
