Naturally segregating loci exhibit epistasis for fitness.

Biology letters - 1 Aug 2015

Monnahan Patrick J, Kelly John K

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which gene interaction or epistasis contributes to fitness variation within populations remains poorly understood, despite its importance to a myriad of evolutionary questions. Here, we report a multi-year field study estimating fitness of Mimulus guttatus genetic lines in which pairs of naturally segregating loci exist in an otherwise uniform background. An allele at QTL x5b-a locus originally...
