Functional origins of fitness effect-sizes of compensatory mutations in the DNA bacteriophage phiX174.

Abstract excerpt

Epistasis is an important and poorly understood aspect of mutations and strongly influences the evolutionary impact of genetic variation on adaptation and fitness. Although recent studies have begun to characterize the distribution of epistatic effects between mutations affecting fitness, there is currently a lack of empirical information on the underlying biological causes of these epistatic interactions. What...
