... c. Which mutagens would most likely produce revertants that are TS or CS? How could such revertants occur? ANSWER: All but ICR191 make base substitutions so revertants that are TS or CS must not be true revertants. Thus secondary site substitutions, either in the original mutant codon or elsewhere 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.
