Abstract
It has long been known that phenotypic variation involves a complex web of interactions with genetic background influencing the expression of genetic variants. In his Perspective, Nadeau describes new work ( Buchner et al.) that identifies a modifier gene and determines how it acts to affect the severity of neuronal defects in med mice.Keywords
