    Extreme positive epistasis for fitness in monosomic yeast strains

    Hanna Tutaj, Katarzyna Tomala ... Ryszard Korona
    Monosomy in yeast results in numerous gene dosage insufficiencies with potentially lethal collective effect, but strong positive epistasis rooted in the modular structure of cell metabolism cancels it.
