Our estimates of symmetric epistasis (VarP[v] = 14.6%, MIP[v] = 0.22; File S1) indicate that regardless of parent-of-origin descent, plasma HAL tends to be lower for hybrids of PWK and NOD and high for hybrids of WSB and PWK.
His social origins and descent imbued him at an early age with a sense of responsibility to his people.
