A personality SNP? Behavioral genetics in African cichlids

Daniel F Hughes. Trends Genet. 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Speciation is familiar in radiations, but personality is not. In a recent article, Sommer-Trembo et al. linked exploratory behavior in African cichlids to a SNP in the promoter of a gene, the homolog of which is associated with human personality disorders, offering clues about the first fish of this radiation, with implications for vertebrate evolution.
