<i>C. elegans</i> harbors pervasive cryptic genetic variation for embryogenesis

2014-08-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Conditionally functional mutations are an important class of natural genetic variation, yet little is known about their prevalence in natural populations or their contribution to disease risk. Here, we describe a vast reserve of cryptic genetic variation, alleles that are normally silent but which affect phenotype when the function of other genes is perturbed, in the gene networks of C. elegans...
