Since modifying genes are defined as genes having no known effect except to intensify or diminish the expression of a major gene [ 23], their effect as individual loci and subsequently their interaction with major loci may be undetectable with this type of analyses.
Although the predicted modifying genes are identical when present and the clusters occupy identical genetic regions, the core sequences are hypervariable.
In our QTL mapping approach, the modifying genes are identified as rQTL and the pleiotropic genes as genes interacting with rQTL, called intQTL.
The results of the present research suggest that Tph2 modifying genes are in most cases additional gamma-TMT loci duplicated in the sunflower genome.
In Appaloosa horses, for example, the piebald expression is controlled by a single gene, which is apparently dominant, and displays the piebald pattern when two series of modifying genes are expressed: one series for the control of the expression of white (vis-à-vis the normal coat colour) and another series for the expression of spots (Householder 2003).
Our results suggested that modifying genes are mostly epistatically interacting gamma-TMT duplicated loci.

Forty-seven examples of drug induction of potential rare disease modifying genes were identified in this fashion.
Here, we demonstrate that aberrant promoter methylation of PBRM1 and other chromatin modifying genes is absent or rare in ccRCC.
The discovery of modifying genes affecting high gamma-tocopherol content confirms that the occurrence of modifying genes is not a rare phenomenon in sunflower genetics.
However, opponents to GMOs are concerned that if modified genes are introduced into wild plant populations by hybridization, they could impart a fitness advantage in the hybrid species, meaning that the hybrid species would be better able to reproduce.
If modified genes are removed in the manufacturing process ― something that happens with soy oil, sugar and corn syrup ― there would not have to be a notification.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
