The work I discussed on antagonistic epistasis is unpublished, but should you be interested, our earlier paper in PLoS Genetics showed synergistic epistasis for a beneficial mutation - and an identical synergistic GxE interaction. It was also an example of remarkable parallelism and the identification of a new gene due to recurrent beneficial mutations.
