Sentence examples for by epistatic interactions between from inspiring English sources
These results strongly suggested that the inhibition of germination was caused by epistatic interactions between the four QTLs.
The evolution of evolvability in a trait under fluctuating selection is governed by epistatic interactions between loci.
For example, heterozygote deficits might reflect underdominance at single loci, but can also be caused by epistatic interactions between loci and prezygotic barriers to heterozygote formation.
This two-locus hypothesis is more probable than the single-locus one, because postzygotic incompatibilities have usually been demonstrated to be caused by epistatic interactions between at least two genes.
We found that DNA affinity is determined by main effects of individual nucleotides and by epistatic interactions between them, but these determinants are radically different between AncSR1 and AncSR1+RH.
Because T. gondii virulence is also determined by epistatic interactions between alleles at multiple loci (Saeij et al., 2006) the single-locus gain-and-loss cases analysed here may fail to reproduce the complexity of the natural situation.
Nor does the failure to complement appear to be determined by epistatic interaction between the functional lab-derived wild-type allele and the wild-derived lines, as the F ratio tests were nonsignificant for all comparisons.
Likewise, allyl glucosinolate accumulation is not only determined by AOP but also by two further QTL, on chromosome 3 (marker 3FM12) and near the top of chromosome 5 (marker nga249), and by pairwise epistatic interactions between AOP and these QTL (Figure 4).
Third, hybrid courtship could be disrupted by negative epistatic interactions between courtship specific genes.
It appears that a portion of hybrid male behavioural sterility in Nasonia may be caused by negative epistatic interactions between courtship-specific genes.
Two explanations are possible: 1) these mutations were already present at low frequency within the phage stock used to initiate all samples and/or 2) these patterns of linkage disequilibrium are explained by positive epistatic interactions between sites.
