The establishment of such a link is sorely needed if we aim for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying intra - and inter-locus additivity and nonadditivity.

-
Here we show that by considering the additivity and nonadditivity features of each genotype explicitly, regulatory biology can be linked to the basic concepts of single locus genetic theory in a straightforward way.

-
Since homoallelic or heteroallelic nonadditivity is a prerequisite for genetic dominance
PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Arne B. Gjuvsland et al. 2010
-
Our analysis suggests that any cis-acting eQTL showing genetic dominance points towards a possible feedback regulation or some other mechanism causing the nonadditivity.

-
In these cases we predict that one will observe heteroallelic nonadditivity, but no homoallelic nonadditivity.

-
This implies that it per definition cannot relate the nonadditivity between alleles in each genotype to the dominance value for RNA and protein phenotypes

-
(eqn. (3)), another prediction is that homozygous loci showing homoallelic nonadditivity are hotspots for the creation of genetic dominant eQTLs in the genome.
