The word
"epistatic" refers to a genetic phenomenon where one gene has the ability to suppress or mask the effects of another gene. In simpler terms, it means that one gene can control or override the expression of another gene.
Full definition
Our knowledge concerning
epistatic relationships between these genes implies the existence of a poorly understood biochemical maintenance of twist expression during mesoderm invagination by the snail gene.
[20] It removes the possible influence of dominance and
epistatic effects which, if present, will tend to make monozygotic twins more similar than dizygotic twins and mask the influence of shared environmental effects.
A considerable genetic heterogeneity is expected within and among studies, as different combinations of the various alleles of the multiple genes and
epistatic gene interactions may produce similar phenotypes.
The researchers» investigation found that, unexpectedly, purifying selection enriches
for epistatic mutations as opposed to mutations that are simply additive.
We asked whether rum acts upstream or downstream of the Tor RTK by
testing epistatic relationships between rum and tor.
This is the fourth lesson on the GCE A-level Biology series on «Inheritance» and as the title suggested covers Dihybrid and
Epistatic crosses.
According to Greene and colleagues [121], real associations may not replicate in independent samples if they are part of a
larger epistatic interaction.
There is contradictory evidence of
epistatic mechanisms being modified by environmental factors (Belsky and Pluess, 2009; Stoltenberg et al., 2012).
Epistatic effects are at their most dramatic in mixed breed dogs where, unlike a purebred dog, we have a relatively spotty (pun intended; coat color and patterning is a great example of epistasis) understanding of how the sequences from lots of contributing breeds will interact.
More specifically, we use large - scale data acquisition and quantitative modelling of phenotypes and molecular profiles, systematic perturbations (such as drugs or high - throughput genetics) and computational analysis of non-linear,
epistatic interaction networks.
AZI23» UTR Is a new SLC6A3 downregulator associated with
an epistatic protection against substance use disorders Liu K, Yu J, Zhao J, Zhou Y, Xiong N, Xu J, Wang T, Bell RL, Qing H, Lin Z. Molecular Neurobiology.
Thus, rum is
epistatic to torY9.
unc - 3 animals are severe Unc coilers, and unc - 3 is
epistatic to unc - 9; the focus of action of unc - 3 is widely distributed in the ABp lineage.
An Epistatic Interaction between Themis1 and Vav1 Modulates Regulatory T Cell Function and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Development
A single copy of KB is
epistatic to, or sufficient to hide, all the genetic information of the A gene.
The term «dominant brindle» is unfortunate, as it may lead some to think that brindle is
epistatic or dominant over E, the gene for extension of dark pigment over the whole surface.
