TLDR
There is a renewed appreciation both for the importance of studying gene interactions and for addressing these questions in a unified, quantitative manner with the advent of high-throughput functional genomics.Abstract:
Epistasis, or interactions between genes, has long been recognized as fundamentally important to understanding the structure and function of genetic pathways and the evolutionary dynamics of complex genetic systems. With the advent of high-throughput functional genomics and the emergence of systems approaches to biology, as well as a new-found ability to pursue the genetic basis of evolution down to specific molecular changes, there is a renewed appreciation both for the importance of studying gene interactions and for addressing these questions in a unified, quantitative manner.read more

On the relationship between high-order linkage disequilibrium and epistasis
TL;DR: This study empirically evaluates how prevalent high order LD is between local, as well as distal, polymorphisms in the genome to provide insights into whether this should be account for when interpreting results from genome wide scans for statistical epistasis.

Genetic and functional characterization of candidate genes for complex psychiatric diseases using next-generation sequencing and cellular uptake assays
TL;DR: A pooled re-sequencing study suggests that not only common or rare variants alone, but a combination of both contributes to the development of anxiety-related phenotypes, as described in this thesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that pleiotropy and epistasis are common, sensitive, and complex mutational behaviors, depending mainly on the structural and functional responsibility and the physicochemical properties of the residue(s) in AzoA.

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

TL;DR: Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.
