Selection on genome‐wide gene expression plasticity of rice in wet and dry field environments
Abstract Gene expression can be highly plastic in response to environmental variation. However, we know little about how expression plasticity is shaped by natural selection and evolves in wild and domesticated species. We used genotypic selection analysis to characterize selection on drought‐induced plasticity of over 7,500 leaf transcripts of 118 ...

ABSTRACT Plants adapt to their local environment through complex interactions between genes, gene networks and hormones. Although the impact of gene expression on trait regulation and evolution has been recognised for many decades, its role in the evolution of adaptation is still a subject of intense exploration.

Poor statistical power in population-based association study of gene interaction
Background Statistical epistasis, or “gene–gene interaction” in genetic association studies, means the nonadditive effects between the polymorphic sites on two different genes affecting the same phenotype.

Managing synthetic polymer waste is a major challenge. While enzymatic polyamide (PA) hydrolysis holds great recycling potential, it is limited by ineffective polyamidases. The polyamidase NylCp2‐TS is evolved through random mutagenesis and incremental docking, yielding NylC‐HP with enhanced activity and stability.

Complexity of evolutionary equilibria in static fitness landscapes [PDF]
A fitness landscape is a genetic space -- with two genotypes adjacent if they differ in a single locus -- and a fitness function. Evolutionary dynamics produce a flow on this landscape from lower fitness to higher; reaching equilibrium only if a local ...

The evolution of genetic architectures underlying quantitative traits
In the classic view introduced by R. A. Fisher, a quantitative trait is encoded by many loci with small, additive effects. Recent advances in QTL mapping have begun to elucidate the genetic architectures underlying vast numbers of phenotypes across ...

Epistasis and immunity: the role of genetic interactions in autoimmune diseases
SummaryAutoimmune disorders are a complex and varied group of diseases that are caused by breakdown of self‐tolerance. The aetiology of autoimmunity is multi‐factorial, with both environmental triggers and genetically determined risk factors. In recent years, it has been increasingly recognized that genetic risk factors do not act in isolation, but ...

3D protein structure from genetic epistasis experiments [PDF]
SummaryHigh-throughput experimental techniques have made possible the systematic sampling of the single mutation landscape for many proteins, defined as the change in protein fitness as the result of point mutation sequence changes. In a more limited number of cases, and for small proteins only, we also have nearly full coverage of all possible double ...

Statistical Modeling of Epistasis and Linkage Decay using Logic Regression [PDF]
Logic regression has been recognized as a tool that can identify and model non-additive genetic interactions using Boolean logic groups. Logic regression, TASSEL-GLM and SAS-GLM were compared for analytical precision using a previously characterized ...
