The Failure and Correction of the 'Behavior Gene' Myth in Science

The Failure and Correction of the 'Behavior Gene' Myth in Science

For decades, scientists searched for behavior genes like a voting gene or criminal DNA. This video explores the errors and advances in behavioral genetics, including GWAS, the polygenic model, and the environmental influences on complex behaviors.

Genetic Factors Explaining Differences in Identical Twins and Disease Risks

Genetic Factors Explaining Differences in Identical Twins and Disease Risks

This video explores why identical twins are not exact copies by examining three types of DNA: nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA inherited from the mother, and extrachromosomal circular DNA influencing physical traits, cancer, aging, and genetic diseases.

    Perkenalkan, konsep personality pada hewan yang dihubungkan ke genetik. Lagi ngehits: https://t.co/fSTs8IhgkF Tapi dari dulu selalu skeptis sama GWAS karena selalu butuh validasi eksperimental. https://t.co/IdHYBOpPVg https://t.co/qNf7EeRzre
