Originally, the term epistasis specifically meant that the effect of a gene variant is masked by that of different gene. The concept of epistasis originated in...

returns epistasis. When deleterious mutations also have a smaller fitness effect on high fitness backgrounds, this is known as "synergistic epistasis". However...

Epistasis refers to genetic interactions in which the mutation of one gene masks the phenotypic effects of a mutation at another locus. Systematic analysis...
