    A huge study involving over 190 researchers in 140 research centers in 17 countries has located genetic variants associated with happiness and other traits. It is one of the largest studies ever published on genes involved in human behavior.
    In the journal Nature, the international team describes how it analyzed genomic data from hundreds of thousands of people to find genetic variants associated with our feelings of well-being, depression and neuroticism.
    The team also found that the gene variants are mainly expressed incentral nervous system and adrenal or pancreas tissues.
