Epistasis in measured genotypes: Drosophila P-element insertions.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1997

Clark A G, Wang L

Abstract excerpt

Transposon tagging provides an opportunity to construct large numbers of strains of organisms that differ by single insertional mutations. By scoring the phenotypes of these "measured genotypes," powerful tests of effects of mutations on phenotypic expression have been performed. Here we extend t...
