-	Epistasis: describes a relationship between two mutant alleles $a$ and $b$. If the phenotype of a double mutant $a$ \cdot b$ is the same as the single mutant $a$ we say that $a$ is epistatic to $b$, and that $a$ likely functions after $b$ in a pathway.	+	Epistasis: describes a relationship between two mutant alleles $a$ and $b$.
