Abstract excerpt
We present a method for analysis of a fitness landscape of a biopolymer with significantly epistatic sites. The analysis is based on a quasi-additive fitness model. The fitness model is constructed with additive terms conducted by "site-fitness" and epistatic terms conducted by "pair-fitness," where the site-fitness is a fitness contribution from an independent residue and the pair-fitness is a fitness...
