My research program concerns the origins of individual differences in both rodent and human populations for behavior, body size and fat patterning. The assessment of heritability for complex behaviors and traits to determine their suitability for a genetics approach is the first step in this process, followed by the development and use of high-throughput techniques of genotyping and computation methods to assess the location and size of quantitative trait loci. The goal of this program is to understand the exact relationship between phenotype and genotype in human, mouse and rat populations for obesity and taste-related behaviors.
