... When they are on opposite chromosomes they are in trans position. These terms are particularly useful in the Rh groups and can be demonstrated by the following example: in the heterozygote CDe/cDE, C and e are in cis and so are c and E, but C and E, and c and e, are in trans. Positions of genes on c ...

... Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer in Taiwan according to a report of the Department of Health in 2010. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a hallmark of a defective mismatch repair (MMR) system, which is caused by mutations in one of MMR genes such as hMLH1 and hMSH2, epi ...

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.
