A Gene's Ability to Buffer Variation Is Predicted by Its Fitness Contribution and Genetic Interactions
BACKGROUND: Many single-gene knockouts result in increased phenotypic (e.g., morphological) variability among the mutant's offspring. This has been interpreted as an intrinsic ability of genes to buffer genetic and environmental variation. A phenotypic capacitor is a gene that appears to mask p...
