Epistasis occurs when the expression of one gene is modified by another gene.

I kinda got lost on a train of thought and forgot to mention epistasis.

This should reduce the chance of positive epistasis emerging, he says.

Epistasis is considered to be one of the key issues in Biology research.

This relationship between number of mutations and fitness is known as synergistic epistasis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The influence such combinations have on an organization's adaptive fitness is known as epistasis.

Pleiotropy and epistasis are another pair of contenders for being mentioned in the same context.

This interaction between genes is called epistasis, with the second gene epistatic to the first.

- Hypostasis: the suppression of a gene by the effect of an unrelated gene
- Epistasis is the phenomenon where the effects of one gene are modified by one or several other genes, which are sometimes called modifier genes. The gene whose phenotype is expressed is said to be epistatic, while the phenotype altered or suppressed is said to be hypostatic. ...
- (EPISTATIC) Several genes can act on a genotype in modifying its phenotypic expression. This phenomenon has been described for mendelian disorders with complete penetrance, like Cystic Fibrosis, where the same mutated genotypes can have varying degrees of severity of the clinical symptoms. ...
- (Epistatic) a dependent relationship between genes.
- The masking of the effects of one gene by the action of another, example: widow's peak masked by the baldness gene.
- Masking of a phenotypic trait through the action of a mutant allele. For example, albinism (absence of pigment) is epistatic to coat color genes that determine black vs. brown fur in animals.
- A term from biology used to denote that the fitness of an individual depends upon the interaction of a number of their genes. In genetic algorithms this would be indicated by the fitness containing a non-linear combination of components of the string.
- One gene interfers with or prevents the expression of another gene located at a different locus.
- A form of gene interaction whereby one gene interferes with the phenotypic expression of another nonallelic gene or genes. Gene A is said to be epistatic to gene B if an allele of gene A masks the encoded effects of gene B.
