... This would cause a frameshift mutation: it alters the reading frame so that not only one codon but all subsequent codons are affected. This certainly would produce a non-functional protein. Codon 542 is changed from GGA to UGA. UGA is a stop codon: this is a nonsense mutation. So, the protein will t ...

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.
