FIG. 1. — Discrete function representation of a genetic interaction. A genetic interaction function example depicted on the left (in red) can be thought of as a function of two variables, , where all three variables from the set can take on three possible integer values, 0, 1, and 2 (shown in green). This is a 3 × 3 function: three variables with an alphabet of three values. We use a linear vector-like notation shown in the blue oval on the right as shorthand for the function definition of the genetic interaction (the convention that the X, Y truth table of Z values is read down and across).
