Abstract In population genetics, the additive and multiplicative viability models are often used for the quantitative description of models in which the genetic contributions of several different loci are independent; that is, there is no epistasis. Non-epistasis may also be quantitatively defined in terms of measures of interaction used widely in statistics. Setting these measures of epistasis to zero yields alternative definitions of non-epistasis. We show here that these two definitions of non-epistasis are equivalent; that is, in the most general case of a multilocus, multiallele system, the additive and multiplicative viability models are unique solutions of the additive and multiplicative conditions, respectively, for non-epistasis. r 2004 Elsevier Inc.

0. Introduction Two different mathematical models have been used to represent independent contributions of separate genes to total genotypic fitness. These are called the additive and multiplicative viability models, after Moran (1968), who regarded the former as ‘‘less natural but also interesting’’. One reason that these models are important is that they constitute a baseline by which to calibrate models in which selection regimes affecting single genes are not independent. Another is that both schemes of independence permit a population genetic frequency equilibrium at which there is no statistical association between the loci (Moran, 1968; Bodmer and Felsenstein, 1967) when there is heterozygote advantage at each locus. For two loci, in the multiplicative case this point is stable for sufficiently loose linkage between the loci (Bodmer and Felsenstein, 1967; Moran, 1968; Karlin and Liberman, 1979a–c). In the additive case, as long as there is any recombination, the point is globally stable (Ewens, 1969; Karlin and Feldman, 1970). Ewens (1969) has also shown that in the additive case, the mean fitness *Corresponding author. E-mail addresses: [email protected] (A. Puniyani), liberman@post. tau.ac.il (U.

increases over time. This is not necessarily true for the multiplicative case (Moran, 1964). Measures of departure from independence of the genetic effects of many loci are most frequently framed in terms of contributions to a quantitative character, and calculation of these epistatic effects usually involves assumptions about Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium (e.g., Lynch and Walsh, 1998, pp. 85–87, 212–215). In terms of fitness parameters, however, and specifically for viability, epistasis is calculated as a function of the fitnesses. For example, Bodmer and Felsenstein (1967) take the following two-locus twoallele viability matrix W ¼ ½wij 4i; j¼1 : A1 B1 2 A1 B1 w11 A1 B2 6 6 w21 6 A2 B1 4 w31 A2 B2

as four epistatic parameters. These eA i are measures of additive epistasis in fitness. A corresponding set of multiplicative epistasis measures can be produced

satisfy the following equations: ð3Þ

Independence, as defined by no epistasis, then assumes M eA i ¼ 0 or ei ¼ 0 in the additive and multiplicative cases, respectively. A second definition of non-epistasis is perhaps more commonly used and starts from the parameters that represent the contributions from each locus to the viability of the complete multilocus genotype. If the latter is formed by summing the former, the fitnesses might be said to exhibit no additive epistasis, and if the combination is multiplicative, there is no multiplicative epistasis (e.g., Nagylaki, 1992, pp. 187–188). In the multilocus–multiallele case, analogs to Eq. (2) in the additive case or (3) in the multiplicative case are less obvious than in the two-locus case. In light of the importance of epistasis for many problems in evolutionary genetics, it is important to determine whether these multilocus–multiallele extensions of (2) and (3) are equivalent to corresponding formulations that directly assemble fitness contributions from each locus. This note shows that the two formulations are equivalent.

1. Two loci with two alleles Suppose we have a population where the character under consideration is determined at two loci with two possible alleles at each locus. Let A1 ; A2 be the possible alleles at the first locus and B1 ; B2 at the second locus. We assume that there is viability selection operating on the population. As there are four different two-locus gametes: A1 B1 ; A1 B2 ; A2 B1 ; A2 B2 ; there are 16 genotypes Ai Bj =Ak Bc : Therefore the fitness selection can be represented by the 4  4 viability matrix W ¼ ½wij 4i; j¼1 given in (1). Hence w11 is the viability of the genotype A1 B1 =A1 B1 ; w23 of A1 B2 =A2 B1 ; etc. Here we assume that W is a symmetric matrix, namely wij ¼ wji for all i; j ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4: In some situations, for example with genomic imprinting (e.g., Spencer et al., 1998), the fitnesses may not be symmetric. In addition, it is customary to assume that the two double heterozygotes A1 B1 =A2 B2 and A1 B2 =A2 B1 have the same viability, w14 ¼ w23 : That is, there is no position effect in the selection. Two-locus schemes with position effects can be extremely complicated (Nordborg et al., 1995). Here we do not allow this complication. For some evolutionary analyses it is important to know when the two-locus selection, represented by the fitness matrix W; shows non-epistasis. There are two approaches in the literature for defining non-epistasis. The first approach implies linear constraints on the entries of the fitness matrix W: More specifically, W is said to show non-epistasis if and only if the rows of W

wi1  wi2  wi3 þ wi4 ¼ 0;

i ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4:

ð4Þ

The second approach defines non-epistasis as additive selection. Let the fitness matrices associated with the two loci, taken separately, be W1 and W2 ; such that A1 A2   A 1 a1 a2 A 2 a2

a3

¼ W1 ;

B1 B2   B1 b1 b2 B2 b2

b3

¼ W2 :

Then the two-locus fitness matrix W is said to be of the non-epistatic type if its entries are additive in the corresponding entries of W1 and W2 : Thus w11 ; the fitness of the genotype A1 B1 =A1 B1 ; is a1 þ b1 ; the sum of the fitnesses of the two one-locus corresponding genotypes A1 A1 and B1 B1 : In general, W is non-epistatic if the matrix can be represented as A1 B1

More generally, let A1 ; A2 ; y; Am be the m possible alleles at the first locus where B1 ; B2 ; y; Bn are the n possible alleles at the second locus. As in the two-allele case, assume that the viability selection shows no position effects. This means that the viability associated with the two genotypes Ai Bj =Ak Bc and Ai Bc =Ak Bj are the same for any i; j; k; c: Equivalently, the no-position effect assumption entails that the viability of a two-locus genotype Ai Bj =Ak Bc depends only on its associated onelocus genotypes Ai Ak and Bj Bc : Therefore, let X1 ; X2 ; y; XM be the possible geno) and let types at the first locus (M ¼ mðmþ1Þ 2 Y1 ; Y2 ; y; YN be those at the second loci (N ¼ nðnþ1Þ 2 ). Then the mn  mn viability matrix W ¼ ½wij ; that determines the viability parameters of all mn  mn genotypes Ai Bj =Ak Bc for i; k ¼ 1; 2; y; m and j; c ¼ 1; 2; y; n; is completely characterized by the M  N matrix F ¼ ½ fij : Here fij ¼ f ðXi ; Yj Þ

Observe that the four linear equations of (4) wi1  wi2  wi3 þ wi4 ¼ 0;

The equivalence of (10) and (11) is stated as: Theorem 1. Let F ¼ ½ fij  be any M  N two-locus fitness scheme. Then, there exist M positive parameters a1 ; a2 ; y; aM and N positive parameters b1 ; b2 ; y; bN such that fij ¼ ai þ bj ;

where all the parameters a ðck Þ are positive for any ck and any k ¼ 1; 2; y; n: We would like to characterize the n-locus generalization of Eqs. (10) for the fitness parameters of F: The easiest way of doing this is by induction. In fact, suppose we have a ‘‘new’’ ðn þ 1Þth locus with ðnþ1Þ ðnþ1Þ Mnþ1 genotypes X1 ; y; XMnþ1 and let ðkÞ

Theorem 2. The fitness scheme f ðl; cnþ1 Þ is additive, namely there exist positive parameters f ðlÞ and anþ1 ðcnþ1 Þ for all possible l ¼ ðc1 ; y; cn Þ and cnþ1 such that

Proof. Of course if the additive representation (17) holds, then clearly all Eqs. (18) are satisfied. On the other hand, if Eqs. (18) are satisfied, then for given cnþ1 and c0nþ1 the difference f ðl; cnþ1 Þ  f ðl; c0nþ1 Þ ¼ bðcnþ1 ; c0nþ1 Þ

is independent of l: Then choose an l 0 and write bðcnþ1 ; c0nþ1 Þ ¼ f ðl 0 ; cnþ1 Þ  f ðl 0 ; c0nþ1 Þ:

and the 6  6 fitness matrix W ¼ ½wij  is given as: ð20Þ

Let f ðl 0 ; cÞ ¼ mincnþ1 f ðl 0 ; cnþ1 Þ: Then clearly bðcnþ1 ; cÞX0 for all cnþ1 : Now based on (19) we have the representation f ðl; cnþ1 Þ ¼ f ðl; cÞ þ bðcnþ1 ; cÞ:

Let a ¼ minl f ðl; cÞ and choose any 0oboa: Define f ðlÞ and aðnþ1Þ ðcnþ1 Þ as f ðlÞ ¼ f ðl; cÞ  b; aðnþ1Þ ðcnþ1 Þ ¼ bðcnþ1 ; cÞ þ b:

Now the left-hand side of (24) depends only on l while the right-hand side depends on cnþ1 : Hence both sides of (24) must be a constant C: Therefore for all l and cnþ1 a*

and the additive representation (17) is unique up to an additive constant C: Using Theorem 2 we actually have the complete characterization of additive non-epistatic selection in the multilocus case. The characterization is obtained by Eqs. (18) where the ‘‘new’’ locus is any locus and the ‘‘old’’ loci are the remaining loci. Thus the set of linear homogeneous equations (18) gives the desired characterization. As an example, consider the case of two loci with two alleles A1 ; A2 at the first and three alleles B1 ; B2 ; B3 at the second. We have three genotypes A1 A1 ; A1 A2 ; A2 A2 at the first locus and six genotypes B1 B1 ; B1 B2 ; B1 B3 ; B2 B2 ; B2 B3 ; B3 B3 at the second.

Observe that any two of the three identities in (27) imply the third one. Hence, the first row of W produces two independent identities. This is in fact the case with all the other rows. So all together we have 12 independent identities associated with W; and although there are 45 identities of the form fij  fic  fkj þ fkc ¼ 0;

where f ðlÞ40 and aðnþ1Þ ðcnþ1 Þ40: We have thus secured the additive representation (17). To check the uniqueness of the additive representation (17), suppose

it is easily seen that they are implied by these 12 identities. Representing the symmetric viability matrix W in terms of the matrix F; we can write the conditions on W that it is non-epistatic: (i) W shows ‘‘no position effects’’ such that double heterozygotes have the same fitness; (ii) Identities (10) are satisfied. In the two-locus, two-allele case where W ¼ ½wij 4i; j¼1 the conditions are (following (4)) w14 ¼ w23 ; ‘‘no position effect’’; ð28Þ wi1  wi2  wi3 þ wi4 ¼ 0; i ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4: In the case of two loci with two alleles at the first and three at the second, the conditions are (following (27)) w15 ¼ w24 ; w16 ¼ w34 ; ‘‘no position effects’’; wi1  wi2  wi4 þ wi5 ¼ 0; i ¼ 1; 2; y; 6: wi1  wi3  wi4 þ wi6 ¼ 0;

3. The multiplicative non-epistatic case Among the class of generalized non-epistatic selection schemes, we have in addition to the additive selection the case of multiplicative selection. For the two-locus with two alleles at each locus, the corresponding fitness matrix W ¼ ½wij 4i; j¼1 of (1) is said

to be multiplicative 2 a1 b1 a1 b2 6a b a b 1 3 6 1 2 W¼6 4 a2 b1 a2 b2 a2 b2 where

are the fitness matrices associated with the two loci, taken separately. In fact, we see that the fitness matrix W can be represented as W ¼ W1 #W2 ;

ð32Þ

where # is the Kronecker product of matrices. Thus (32) is a characterization of multiplicative selection, and it can be easily generalized to the multilocus multiallele case. Specifically, if we use the notations of Section 2, where we have n loci with mk possible alleles at locus k; for k ¼ 1; 2; y; n; then theQcorresponding M  M fitness matrix W (where M ¼ nk¼1 mk ) is multiplicative if and only if there exist n fitness matrices W1 ; W2 ; y; Wn (where Wk is of order mk  mk ) such that W is the Kronecker product of W1 ; y; Wn ; namely W ¼ W1 #W2 #?#Wn :

321

ð33Þ

Using the representation of the additive case, we have another representation of W which is equivalent to (33). Thus, with multiplicative selection, the symmetric fitness matrix W in (33) shows no position effects, so we can use the F scheme to characterize W: Therefore, the multilocus matrix W shows multiplicative selection if and only if its associated F scheme is such that for all l ¼ ðc1 ; c2 ; y; cn Þ we have the representation n Y aðkÞ ðck Þ; ð34Þ f ðlÞ ¼ f ðc1 ; y; cn Þ ¼ k¼1

where a ðck Þ are positive for any ck and any k ¼ 1; 2; y; n: If the multiplicative representation (34) holds, then clearly n X log f ðlÞ ¼ log f ðc1 ; y; cn Þ ¼ log aðkÞ ðck Þ ð35Þ ðkÞ

k¼1

and the scheme log F ¼ ½log f ðlÞ is in fact additive. Thus, the scheme F is multiplicative if and only if log F is additive, and therefore we have an equivalent characterization of multiplicative selection. Thus, in the general multilocus multiallele case, the conditions for multiplicativity are no position effect and the existence

The two classical baseline models of viability independence between loci have been shown to reduce, respectively, to additive and multiplicative viabilities. For multiple alleles and/or multiple loci general parametric definitions of epistasis in terms of combinations of viabilities remains an interesting question.
