DESCRIPTION:Behaviour\, like any other phenotype\, is traceable to how and
  when genes are expressed with distinct transcriptional profiles associate
 d with distinct behaviours\, even short-term behaviours. My laboratory int
 errogates the molecular mechanisms that initiate and stabilize social beha
 viours. We use the burying beetle _Nicrophorus vespilloides_ as a study sp
 ecies. We use this species’ elaborate parental care to dissect the assoc
 iation of behaviour and social context with gene expression. Currently\, w
 e are most interested in epigenetic mechanisms and how they regulate gene 
 expression during behavioural changes.
