Do we also need Gene imprinting and similar topics?

- Gene/genomic/genetic imprinting might be useful, and actually under Epigenetics
- Epistasis should be under Genotype and phenotype
- Genotype and phenotype could get an additional narrow synonym Gene interaction
- other topics considerable as siblings of Epistasis could be Pleiotropy, or maybe gene interactions similar to epistasis (e.g. inhibition, compensation, complementing), but it is a question whether these are relevant separate topics in data-intensive biosciences / computational biology
However, Gene interaction could also be a broad synonym of Epistasis, with pros & cons of such grouping. (This would be the same as in English-language Wikipedia where Gene interaction redirects to Epistasis.)
