Read about the pioneering study on the genetic component of parenting behavior in mice from MCZ Faculty-Curator [**Hopi Hoekstra**](http://hoekstra.oeb.harvard.edu/current-lab-members/hopi-hoekstra) and postdoc **Andrés Bendesky** in the [*New York Times*](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/science/parenting-genes-study.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0) and [*Nature*](http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature22486.html). This is the first study of variation in parenting behavior of mammals that has been linked to the animals' DNA. (April 2017)
