Our paper out today in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social integrates data from large-scale genome scans of dyslexia & rhythm skills, as a novel way to investigate biological overlaps between human traits related to language & musicality. Co-led by Reyna Gordon (Vanderbilt). 🧪

Looking for an online tool to plot your gene of interest? @joerydh.bsky.social and I have created #ExInPlotter. A shiny app where you can select a genome build (also non-human ones) and plot your gene(s) of interest.

What makes us so susceptible to the power of music?
Our new pre-printed work suggests that genetic variation, primarily dissociated from other relevant perceptual-affective processes, also seems to be at play.
