When combined, the effects of mutations in different genes often deviate from what would be expected by looking at them separately. Researchers at the University of València in Spain have shown that ...

Why evolutionary genetics does not always add up / Edmund D. Brodie III -- Beyond the average : the evolutionary importance of gene interactions and variability of epistatic effects / Patrick C.

Graphical representation of microbiome manipulations in fruit flies. The loss of lactobacilli causes a global distortion of the epistastic landscape of the microbiome. (a) Illustration of the ...

The figure illustrates the major categories of genes that may influence susceptibility to dental caries, organized by their biological functions and pathways. These groups include: (1) Enamel ...

Most common human diseases are a result from the combined effect of genes, the environmental factors, and their interactions such that including gene-environment (GE) interactions can improve power in ...

Researchers are presenting a novel concept for the mathematical modeling of genetic interactions in biological systems. The team has successfully identified master regulators within the context of an ...
