Differential gene expression by RNA-seq data in brain structures of laboratory animals with aggressive and tolerant behavior

Aggressive behavior is a complex behavior phenomenon having genetics and physiological roots. Basic studies have shown that the frequency and severity of aggression depends on the hereditary predispositions, previous experience of aggressive behavior and social context, provoking the demonstration of aggression. To study genetic component of aggressive behavior we used published data on genes expression (RNA-seq and microarrays) related to aggressive behavior in mouse and rat as well as in-house experimental data [1].
