Our dancing ability in our genes. Parents their sense of rhythm down to their children. The study is from the Vanderbilt University in the USA, and the genomics and biotechnology company 23andMe.

They said the genes in similar ways to those for other biological rhythms, such as breathing, walking and sleeping.

The researchers bio-data from over 600,000 people in their research. Researcher Dr David Hinds said: "The large number of...study participants a unique opportunity...to even small genetic signals." He added: "This research a leap forward for scientific understanding of the links between genetics and musicality." Researcher Dr Reyna Gordon said: "Rhythm is not just by a single gene. It is influenced by many hundreds of genes." She : "Tapping, and dancing in synchrony with the beat of music at the core of our human musicality." The research could one day doctors use music and rhythm to us healthier.
