Abstract:The interaction among different genes when expressing a particular phenotype is known as epistasis. High-order epistasis, when more than two loci are involved, is an active research area because it could be the cause of many complex traits. The most common abstraction for specifying an epistasis interaction is through a penetrance table, which captures the probability of expressing the studied phenotype given a particular genotype.Although it is very common for simulators to use penetrance tables, most of them… Show more
