“EPISTASIS is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more ‘modifier genes’ (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.”
