Fig 1. Responses of genetically diverse populations to inhibition of a buffer or potentiator.

Fig 1

(A) Inhibiting a protein that buffers the phenotypic effects of genetic variation will reveal those effects, which increases the phenotypic diversity between genetically distinct individuals. (B) Inhibiting a protein that potentiates the phenotypic effects of genetic variation will diminish those effects, which decreases the phenotypic diversity between genetically distinct individuals.
