Towards a Better Basis Search through a Surrogate Model-Based Epistasis Minimization for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Epistasis, which indicates the difficulty of a problem, can be used to evaluate the basis of the space in which the problem lies. However, calculating epistasis may be challenging as it requires all solutions to be searched.

A general model for multilocus epistatic interactions in case-control studies. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Epistasis, i.e., the interaction of alleles at different loci, is thought to play a central role in the formation and progression of complex diseases.

Highly parallel lab evolution reveals that epistasis can curb the evolution of antibiotic resistance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Genetic perturbations that affect bacterial resistance to antibiotics have been characterized genome-wide, but how do such perturbations interact with subsequent evolutionary adaptation to the drug?

A Large-Scale Genome-Wide Association Study of Epistasis Effects of Production Traits and Daughter Pregnancy Rate in U.S. Holstein Cattle

open access: yesGenes, 2021
Epistasis is widely considered important, but epistasis studies lag those of SNP effects. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 76,109 SNPs and 294,079 first-lactation Holstein cows was conducted for testing pairwise epistasis effects of five ...

Epistasis-driven identification of SLC25A51 as a regulator of human mitochondrial NAD import

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
About a thousand genes in the human genome encode for membrane transporters. Among these, several solute carrier proteins (SLCs), representing the largest group of transporters, are still orphan and lack functional characterization.

One‐step generation of heritable mitochondrial DNA multiplex‐engineered rats using DddA‐derived cytosine base editor

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We established that mixed DdCBE microinjection is an efficient, heritable, and precise strategy for generating multiplex mtDNA mutant rats. This advancement significantly expands the utility of DdCBEs for mitochondrial disease modeling, providing a robust platform for exploring the pathogenic mechanisms of complex mtDNA mutations and developing ...

Epistasis: obstacle or advantage for mapping complex traits? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Identification of genetic loci in complex traits has focused largely on one-dimensional genome scans to search for associations between single markers and the phenotype.

Epistasis between antibiotic tolerance, persistence, and resistance mutations

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance The failure of antibiotic treatment is a major concern worldwide. Resistance is a main determinant in the survival of bacteria under antibiotics.

Idiosyncratic epistasis creates universals in mutational effects and evolutionary trajectories

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Patterns of epistasis and shapes of fitness landscapes are of wide interest because of their bearings on a number of evolutionary theories. The common phenomena of slowing fitness increases during adaptations and diminishing returns from beneficial ...

EpiMOGA: An Epistasis Detection Method Based on a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm

open access: yesGenes, 2021
In genome-wide association studies, detecting high-order epistasis is important for analyzing the occurrence of complex human diseases and explaining missing heritability. However, there are various challenges in the actual high-order epistasis detection
