--- _id: '1359' abstract: - lang: eng text: "The role of gene interactions in the evolutionary process has long\r\nbeen controversial. Although some argue that they are not of\r\nimportance, because most variation is additive, others claim that\r\ntheir effect in the long term can be substantial. Here, we focus on\r\nthe long-term effects of genetic interactions under directional\r\nselection assuming no mutation or dominance, and that epistasis is\r\nsymmetrical overall. We ask by how much the mean of a complex\r\ntrait can be increased by selection and analyze two extreme\r\nregimes, in which either drift or selection dominate the dynamics\r\nof allele frequencies. In both scenarios, epistatic interactions affect\r\nthe long-term response to selection by modulating the additive\r\ngenetic variance. When drift dominates, we extend Robertson\r\n’\r\ns\r\n[Robertson A (1960)\r\nProc R Soc Lond B Biol Sci\r\n153(951):234\r\n−\r\n249]\r\nargument to show that, for any form of epistasis, the total response\r\nof a haploid population is proportional to the initial total genotypic\r\nvariance. In contrast, the total response of a diploid population is\r\nincreased by epistasis, for a given initial genotypic variance. When\r\nselection dominates, we show that the total selection response can\r\nonly be increased by epistasis when s\r\nome initially deleterious alleles\r\nbecome favored as the genetic background changes. We find a sim-\r\nple approximation for this effect and show that, in this regime, it is\r\nthe structure of the genotype - phenotype map that matters and not\r\nthe variance components of the population." article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Tiago full_name: Paixao, Tiago id: 2C5658E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Paixao orcid: 0000-0003-2361-3953 - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 citation: ama: Paixao T, Barton NH.

While the macroscopic dynamics of quantitative traits can be measured, the underlying allele frequencies are typically unobserved. Can we understand how the macroscopic observables evolve without following these microscopic processes? This problem has been studied previously by analogy with statistical mechanics: the allele frequency distribution at each time point is approximated by the stationary form, which maximizes entropy. We explore the limitations of this method when mutation is small (4Nμ < 1) so that populations are typically close to fixation, and we extend the theory in this regime to account for changes in mutation strength. We consider a single diallelic locus either under directional selection or with overdominance and then generalize to multiple unlinked biallelic loci with unequal effects. We find that the maximum-entropy approximation is remarkably accurate, even when mutation and selection change rapidly.
