Transcriptional Derepression Uncovers Cryptic Higher-Order Genetic Interactions.
PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2015

Abstract excerpt
Disruption of certain genes can reveal cryptic genetic variants that do not typically show phenotypic effects. Because this phenomenon, which is referred to as 'phenotypic capacitance', is a potential source of trait variation and disease risk, it is important to understand how it arises at the genetic and molecular levels. Here, we use a cryptic colony morphology trait that segregates in a yeast cross to explore...
