Suppose your friend claims there is a human enhancer at position 1,030,302 of chromosome 1. You run a Hi-C assay on retinal cells, and find no evidence of any physical interactions between that candidate enhancer and any other location in the genome. Can you safely conclude the enhancer does not exist?
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
