Are you describing a linear model with multiple predictor variables?

I'm recruiting two PhD positions in my lab for Fall 2026. 1) evolutionary genomics that will focus on constructing and utilizing pangenomes; 2) conservation genomics focused on pop structure and adaptation of Pacific coast Am. black bears.

Atack seq. You're attacking open chromatin. Duh.

I'm just confused about who Peter Ellis is/are?
richmeisel.bsky.social
I'm ok with no rules. It's biology, not physics
richmeisel.bsky.social
Are you asking if a different example would get a different answer? Possibly
richmeisel.bsky.social
There is both dominance and epistasis. They explain different things
richmeisel.bsky.social
Three different alleles:
A
a
A;a

Trying to do this on my phone so errors are possible, but I think

A And A;a are dominant to a

A and a also have an epistatic interaction, which explains A;a

These explain different phenomena
richmeisel.bsky.social
Also, dominance can only exist in diploids. I think these are important distinctions that make dominance distinct from epistasis.
richmeisel.bsky.social
Also, epistasis can act in cis. Dominance can only act on trans
richmeisel.bsky.social
Something something multilocus interactions that modify the selection coefficient at another locus
richmeisel.bsky.social
My point is that defining locus as a single bp is over reductionist and bad genetics. But that's just my humble opinion
richmeisel.bsky.social
It's a way of defining locus which can then be used to distinguish dominance from epistasis
richmeisel.bsky.social
Too many replies to deal with here to see if it's already been said, but could we distinguish dominance from epistasis by looking at complementation?
