Uncovering cryptic genetic variation.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Sept 2004

Gibson Greg, Dworkin Ian

Abstract excerpt

Cryptic genetic variation is the dark matter of biology: it is variation that is not normally seen, but that might be an essential source of physiological and evolutionary potential. It is uncovered by environmental or genetic perturbations, and is thought to modify the penetrance of common diseases, the response of livestock and crops to artificial selection and the capacity of populations to respond to the...
