Variation in the large-scale organization of gene expression levels in the hippocampus relates to stable epigenetic variability in behavior.

Variation in the large-scale organization of gene expression levels in the hippocampus relates to stable epigenetic variability in behavior.

Despite sharing the same genes, identical twins demonstrate substantial variability in behavioral traits and in their risk for disease. Epigenetic factors-DNA and chromatin modifications that affect levels of gene expression without affecting the DNA sequence-are thought to be important in establish...
