As one of the most important aspects of art, music is also a part of human biology and has had a significant influence on human evolution and development. In addition, it is an essential component of cultural heritage. Both hereditary and environmental variables are thought to play a role in developing and manifesting musical talent. Although environmental variables affecting musical ability have been extensively studied, genetic influences are less well understood. The genetic influence was strongly supported in studies of a random population, twins, and families of talented musicians. Linkage analysis, variation in gene copy number, and scanning for whole-genome expression were among the modern biomolecular methods used to discover genes or chromosomal areas linked to musical ability. Singing and music perception have been linked to many loci on chromosome 4, while absolute pitch and music perception have been linked to specific loci on chromosome 8q. Music perception, memory, and listening have all been linked to the AVPR1A gene on chromosome 12q, while SLC6A4 on chromosome 17q has been linked to music memory and choir involvement. |
