Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have suggested that antagonistic epistasis (i.e. mutations having smaller effects in combination than alone) may be common among RNA viruses, in contrast to other biological systems. Here, by re-analysing previously published data from a random viral library, selection and epistasis coefficients were estimated in the U5-IR stem and loop of the Rous sarcoma virus, a region that adopts a conserved...
