At the cutting edge
Article Abstract:
The work of a behaviour geneticist is to find genetic explanations for shared behaviour traits in families and to discover to what extent behaviour is a consequence of nature or nurture. Research on identical and non-identical twins is one way to examine the relationship between environment and the genetics of mental illness and physical diseases. Genetic research can help drug companies to develop specific and improved drugs for many depressive illnesses.
