Abstract Summary
The heritability of complex traits, including disease, is governed by a complex interplay of many genetic variants. This project will produce unique datasets and tools that will reveal how groups of genes interact with each other and how networks of genetic interactions are rewired in response to different genetic backgrounds. The project will help us understand the link between genotype (the genetic code unique to a cell or organism) and phenotype (the traits or features of a cell or organism), a key frontier in genetics.
