Population genetics is the study of allele frequency distribution and change under the influence of four main evolutionary processes: 1) natural selection; 2) genetic drift; 3) mutation and 4) gene flow. In other words, population genetics focuses on the genetic composition of a population and how i ...

Epistasis



Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
