27. The micro-evolution of FMDV
... Simple and plausible models of FMDV population genetics suggest that virus excreted by an infected animal might on average differ by 1 nucleotide mutation to its capsid genes from the virus with which an individual was infected. If this were true – and there are many interesting reasons why it might ...

Epistasis is not dominance.
... Effects of one gene override or mask the phenotype of a second gene. Epistasis is not dominance. Compare the definitions: Epistasis: One gene masks the expression of a different gene for a different trait Dominance: One allele masks the expression of another allele of the same gene ...

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.
