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 ...

In a new study, researchers have found that changes in two parts of the genome work together to influence alopecia risk.

This paper addresses the important question of quantifying epistasis patterns, which affect the predictability of evolution, by reanalyzing a recently published combinatorial deep mutational scan ...

Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of developing a type of alopecia.

Week in brief provides you an up to date collection of the latest developments in the world of genomics and omics.

The challenges we face conducting genetic analyses are derived from the complexity of the genotype- and phenotype-mapping relationship that results from phenomena such as epistasis (gene–gene ...

Imagine your doctor calls you to discuss the results of your genetic testing. They tell you your results indicate you are ...

This gene-gene interaction is a rare phenomenon in human genetics, known as "epistasis". This means that the risk associated with one gene is modified by another gene. Different versions of the ...
