EPISTASIS
GENE INTERACTIONS

There are many loci that can effect eye color in Drosophila.
As is the case with the combs of chickens described in the book (p. 284), interactions among genotypes at different loci can be complex.
We will study a case of coat color in rodents.

Speaker Notes:

In epistasis the genotype at one locus is affected by the genotype at another locus.
