Dominance vs epistasis: the biophysical origins and plasticity of genetic interactions within and between alleles.

Abstract excerpt

An important challenge in genetics, evolution and biotechnology is to understand and predict how mutations combine to alter phenotypes, including molecular activities, fitness and disease. In diploids, mutations in a gene can combine on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes as a "heteroallelic combination". However, a direct comparison of the extent, sign, and stability of the genetic interactions...
