DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2205787119
Abstract: Significance Life is a product of many genes that interact to enhance fitness. Genetics has made much progress in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect complex traits while the probing of epistasis is still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pbi.14054
Abstract: Heterosis refers to the better performance of cross progeny compared with inbred parents, and its utilization contributes greatly to agricultural production. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain heterosis mainly including dominance, over-dominance (or pseudo-overdominance)… read more here.
