Epistatic interactions attenuate mutations affecting startle behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics research - 1 Dec 2009

Yamamoto Akihiko, Anholt Robert R H, MacKay Trudy F C

Abstract excerpt

Epistasis is an important feature of the genetic architecture of quantitative traits. Previously, we showed that startle-induced locomotor behaviour of Drosophila melanogaster, a critical survival trait, is highly polygenic and exhibits epistasis. Here, we characterize epistatic interactions amon...
