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.

Normalized epistasis measures links between separate bits in binary strings. It is used in optimization. Unitarian functions (fitness functions \(f\) whose values depends only upon the number of ones rep. zeros in the optimized binary string) with extreme epistasis are theoretically studied. The epistasis of a binary string \(s = s_{l - 1} \cdots s_0\)

Reconstructability Analysis of Epistasis
The literature on epistasis describes various methods to detect epistatic interactions and to classify different types of epistasis. Reconstructability analysis (RA) has recently been used to detect epistasis in genomic data. This paper shows that RA offers a classification of types of epistasis at three levels of resolution (variable-based models ...

Genomic Evaluation of Assisted Gene Flow Options in an Endangered Rattlesnake
ABSTRACT Assisted gene flow is used to counteract genetic erosion in small populations of endangered species, yet an evaluation of genetic compatibility of potential donor populations and recipient populations is rare. We developed new metrics for assessing the genetic impact of genetic augmentation based on genotype identity of functional variants ...

The domino theory of gene loss states that when some particular gene loses its function and cripples a cellular function, selection will relax in all functionally related genes, which may allow for the non-functionalization and loss of these genes.

Modular epistasis and the compensatory evolution of gene deletion mutants
Screens for epistatic interactions have long been used to characterize functional relationships corresponding to protein complexes, metabolic pathways, and other functional modules.

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.

Learning the pattern of epistasis linking genotype and phenotype in a protein
Understanding the pattern of epistasis—the non-independence of mutations—is critical for relating genotype and phenotype. However, the combinatorial complexity of potential epistatic interactions has severely limited the analysis of this problem.

Background In Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), the concept of linkage disequilibrium is important as it allows identifying genetic markers that tag the actual causal variants.
