epistatic

Examples

• All

• In genetics, an epistatic gene can mask the expression of a dominant gene, affecting the phenotype.

• Whether there is a large number of genes of small effect or a few key genes that affect the expression of many other genes (i.e., epistatic effects) is unclear.

  Academic text (2010)

• The second case identifies a sign of epistatic dependence of one locus on the other, but not the other way around.

• In comparison, the genetic basis of female preference is complex and involves many genes and possibly epistatic interactions (Hollocher et al. 1997).

  Academic text (2017)

• Others have suggested that inbreeding depression may also be explained, at least in part, by synergistic or epistatic interactions among genes (Templeton and Read 1994, Charlesworth 1998).

  Academic text (2010)

• Since these lines were variable only for the third chromosome (see above), any variations found on the second, fourth, and X chromosomes had to originate from genes located on the third chromosome and were therefore products of transregulation or epistatic interactions.

  Academic text (2010)

• The study focused on how epistatic interactions between multiple genes can influence traits like color and size.
