August 12, 2018: New Study of Red Fox Genome Assembly Finds Candidate Gene for Tame Behaviour August 12, 2018 by BARKS from the Guild The study, Red fox genome assembly identifies genomic regions associated with tame and aggressive behaviours, finds a “strong positional candidate gene for tame behaviour” in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), noting that the fox represents “a powerful model for the genetic analysis of affiliative and aggressive behaviours that can benefit genetic studies of behaviour in dogs and other mammals, including humans.” Read study.
