Preferred Label : epistasis, genetic;
MeSH definition : A form of gene interaction whereby the expression of one gene interferes with or masks
the expression of a different gene or genes. Genes whose expression interferes with
or masks the effects of other genes are said to be epistatic to the effected genes.
Genes whose expression is affected (blocked or masked) are hypostatic to the interfering
genes.;
