Originally, the term epistasis specifically meant that the effect of a gene variant is masked by that of different gene. The concept of epistasis originated in...

interact (see Mendelian inheritance). This can include lethal effects and epistasis (where one allele masks another, regardless of dominant or recessive status)...

returns epistasis. When deleterious mutations also have a smaller fitness effect on high fitness backgrounds, this is known as "synergistic epistasis". However...

may be dominant for one trait but not others. Dominance differs from epistasis, the phenomenon of an allele of one gene masking the effect of alleles...

Epistasis refers to genetic interactions in which the mutation of one gene masks the phenotypic effects of a mutation at another locus. Systematic analysis...

distinct genes. The interplay among these genes is used as an example of epistasis. Labrador Retrievers are a popular dog breed in many countries. There...

genotype have both A and B proteins expressed on their red blood cells. Epistasis is when the phenotype of one gene is affected by one or more other genes...

genetic phenomenon epistasis whereby the phenotypic effect of one mutation is dependent upon mutation(s) at other loci. While epistasis was originally conceived...

expressed because of another genetic factor hindering their expression, this epistasis can make it impossible even for dominant alleles on certain other gene-loci...
