Genetic background affects epistatic interactions between two beneficial mutations by Wang, Yinhua, Díaz Arenas, Carolina, Stoebel, Daniel M., Cooper, Tim F.

“…The phenotypic effect of mutations can depend on their genetic background, a phenomenon known as epistasis. Many experimental studies have found that epistasis…”
