- description: 2013 was a big year in the world of gene research. We're learning incredible things about why we are the way we are. Guest host Cristen Conger of Stuff Mom Never Told You (http://www.youtube.com/stuffmomnevertoldyou) runs down her list of the most interesting genes discovered this year! Read More: Lazy? Your Genes May Be to Blame http://www.livescience.com/28551-laziness-genes.html "New research might help explain why some people have trouble getting off the couch. Experiments on rats suggest there could be a genetic predisposition to laziness." Phenotypic and molecular differences between rats selectively bred to voluntarily run high vs. low nightly distances http://ajpregu.physiology.org/content/304/11/R1024 Wedded bliss or blues? Scientists link DNA to marital satisfaction http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2013/10/07/marriage-gene/ "What makes some people more prone to wedded bliss or sorrow than others? Researchers at UC Berkeley and Northwestern University have found a major clue in our DNA. A gene involved in the regulation of serotonin can predict how much our emotions affect our relationships, according to a new study that may be the first to link genetics, emotions, and marital satisfaction."
