It is known to affect genes that traffic in dopamine.
The exact gene affected has not yet been identified.
These researchers say that there are hundreds of genes affected by nurturance.
Some of these mutations affected genes involved in the development of the embryo.
Domestication also apparently affects genes controlling the timing of physiological development.
We also used a variety of additional approaches to search for genes differentially affected by the mutants.
Individuals with both genes affected are rare.
Transcriptionally, a mutation may affect only the allele and genes that are physically linked.
They are often susceptible to spontaneous breakage during replication, frequently affecting neighboring genes.
