Extensions to behavioral genetic programming
In this work I introduce genetic programming [5] as a general technique to produce programs with arbitrary behavior. I discuss genetic programming and its application the task of symbolic regression. I introduce behavioral genetic programming [6] as an extension to genetic programming and explore …

Associated behavioral, genetic, and gene expression variation with alternative life history tactics in salmonid fishes
… consequences and often reflect underlying genetic variation. My research focuses on three objectives related to individual level variation: 1) evaluating the innate behavioral variation within and between individuals, families, and progeny of different life-history types across time; 2) …

A moderated transactional link between child behavioral problems and parenting: A longitudinal- and behavioral- genetic study
Parenting behaviors and a variety of behavioral problems in children covary. The current study first aimed to examine how and why parenting and child behavioral problems are linked in middle childhood. In particular, a longitudinal design (1364 children assessed from 54 months to 5th grade) was …

A Behavioral Genetic Study of the Links Between Working Memory and Aspects of Attention in Middle Childhood
… purpose of the current study was to explore the genetic and environmental association between working memory and different behavioral aspects of the attention network (i.e., executive attention, alerting attention, and orienting attention), using a twin design. Data were from 131 monozygotic (39% …

Born to Rage? : A Case Study of the Warrior Gene
Behavioral genetic findings can change the way individuals feel about their own behavior and DNA. Depending on how individuals are exposed to these research findings, and how the results are presented, the results can determine how an individual internalizes the presented information. This …

Molecular Genetic Basis of Opposite Gene by Environment Interactions in Reading Disability and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
… goal of this study is to better understand the genetic basis of Reading Disability (RD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by examining molecular G x E interactions with parental education for each disorder. Research indicates that despite sharing genetic risk factors, RD and …

An Examination of the Broader Autism Phenotype in Simplex and Multiplex Families
Non-inherited genetic mutations are more prevalent in families with only one individual diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; simplex) whereas inherited genetic risk factors may play a greater role in families with more than one affected individual (multiplex). Behavioral genetic studies …

Control of Neuroendocrine Cell Physiology by a Single Transcription Factor, Drosophila Basic Helix Loop Helix Regulator DIMMED
… the list of intersected genes, I conducted a behavioral genetic screen. DIMM-expressing cells have previously been shown to regulate sleep amount in flies. I conducted an RNA interference-based screen, in which expression of individual DIMM target genes was knocked down in DIMM neurons and the …
