edgetics

Walhout AJM 2009 Getting an edge on human disease. Mol Systems Biol 5:322. networks are composed of proteins (nodes) and the physical interactions between them (edges) mutated residues are more likely to be buried in the protein when all i…

epistasis

Shao H, Burrage LC, Sinasac DS, Hill AE, Ernest SR, O'Brien W, Courtland H-W, Jepsen KJ, Kirby A, Kulbokas EJ, Daly MJ, Broman KW, Lander ES & Nadeau JH 2008 Genetic architecture of complex traits: large phenotypic effects and pervasive ep…

epistasis

Crow JF 2008 Maintaining evolvability. J Genet 87:349-353. long-term selection experiments show that populations continue to retain seemingly undiminished additive variance despite large changes in the mean value there are several reasons …

epistasis

Crow JF 2010 On epistasis: why it is unimportant in polygenic directional selection. Phil Trans R Soc Lond B 365:1241-1244. epistatic variance has minimum effect, since the selected population soon arrives at a state in which the rate of c…
