Popis: The great tit (Parus major) is known for its complex social-cognitive behaviour. Here, the authors sequence genomes of the great tit and show genes related to learning and cognition in regions under positive selection, as well as neuronal non-CpG methylation patterns similar to those observed in mammals.
