Epistasis has been used to describe a number of phenomena, including the functional interaction between genes, the genetic outcome of mutations acting within the same genetic pathway, and the ...

Did you know that genes can mask and alter the effects of other genes? Could this process, called epistasis, be a key to understanding complex conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes?

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has undergone genomic mutations, which have led to the ...

Jim Manzi has a long post up on epistasis, that is, gene-gene interactions: We could call this process of competing algorithms struggling to find the best solution as fast as possible "meta-evolution" ...

Imagine your doctor calls you to discuss the results of your genetic testing. They tell you your results indicate you are ...
