Layers of evolvability in a bacteriophage life history trait.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2009

Heineman Richard H, Bull James J, Molineux Ian J

Abstract excerpt

Functional redundancy in genomes arises from genes with overlapping functions, allowing phenotypes to persist after gene knockouts. Evolutionary redundancy or evolvability of a genome is one step removed, in that functional redundancy is absent but the genome has the potential to evolve to restore a lost phenotype. Exploring the extent to which this recovery alters gene networks can illuminate how functional gene...
