Abstract excerpt
The contributions of genetic interactions to natural trait variation are challenging to estimate experimentally, as current approaches for detecting epistasis are often underpowered. Powerful mapping approaches such as bulk segregant analysis (BSA), wherein individuals with extreme phenotypes are pooled for genotyping, obscure epistasis by averaging over genotype combinations. To accurately characterize and...
