Epistasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epistasis is the interaction between genes. Epistasis takes place when the effects of one gene are modified by one or several other genes, which are sometimes called modifier genes . The gene whose...

Remember that epistasis is the interaction between different genes. If one allele or allelic pair masks the expression of an allele at the second gene, that allele or allelic pair is epistatic to the second gene.

Tests of Epistasis ... Note that epistasis is not the same thing as dominance. With epistasis a mutation in one gene masks the expression of a different gene. With dominance, one allele of a gene masks the expression of another allele of the same gene.

We use a general representation of epistasis and dominance that allows an arbitrary relation between genotype and phenotype for any number of diallelic loci. We assume initial and final Hardy-Weinberg and linkage equilibrium in our analyses of drift-induced changes.

Quantitative complementation tests of mutations at these coregulated genes with the smi mutations showed that in most cases (67%) epistatic interactions for olfactory behavior mirrored epistasis at the level of transcription, thus identifying new candidate genes regulating olfactory behavior.

Epistasis, the interaction between genes, is a topic of current interest in molecular and quantitative genetics. A large amount of research has been devoted to the detection and investigation of epistatic interactions.
