Did you know that genes can mask and alter the effects of other genes? Could this process, called epistasis, be a key to understanding complex conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes?
Epistasis describes how gene interactions can affect phenotypes. Did you know that genes can mask each other's presence or combine to produce an entirely new trait? But what happens when two ...
Interactions between variants, known as epistasis, are thought to contribute to the onset and expression of disease. Up until now, variants were measured only according to their cumulative effect.
