Evolution of mutational robustness in an RNA virus.

PLoS biology - 1 Nov 2005

Montville Rebecca, Froissart Remy, Remold Susanna K, Tenaillon Olivier, Turner Paul E

Abstract excerpt

Mutational (genetic) robustness is phenotypic constancy in the face of mutational changes to the genome. Robustness is critical to the understanding of evolution because phenotypically expressed genetic variation is the fuel of natural selection. Nonetheless, the evidence for adaptive evolution of mutational robustness in biological populations is controversial. Robustness should be selectively favored when...
