Methylation of avpr1a in the cortex of wild prairie voles: effects of CpG position and polymorphism

DNA methylation can cause stable changes in neuronal gene expression, but we know little about its role in individual differences in the wild. In this study, we focus on the vasopressin 1a receptor (avpr1a), a gene extensively implicated in vertebrate social behaviour, and explore natural variation...
