Abstract excerpt
In a recent paper, Rutherford and Lindquist (1998. Nature 396:336-342) identified mutations in the Hsp90 protein that act to unmask hidden genetic variation with a variety of phenotypic effects. The Hsp90 protein has a number of properties that suggest a role in regulating the expression of genetic variation and therefore in adjusting the evolvability of the organism. In this paper we reflect upon the...
