Identification of differential hypothalamic DNA methylation and gene expression associated with sexual partner preferences in rams
The sheep is a valuable model to test whether hormone mechanisms that sexually differentiate the brain underlie the expression of sexual partner preferences because as many as 8% of rams prefer same-sex partners. Epigenetic factors such as DNA methylation act as mediators in the interaction between...
