Epistasis interaction of QTL effects as a genetic parameter influencing estimation of the genetic additive effect
Epistasis, an additive-by-additive interaction between quantitative trait loci, has been defined as a deviation from the sum of independent effects of individual genes. Epistasis between QTLs assayed in populations segregating for an entire genome has been found at a frequency close to that expected...
