The evolution of reversible switches in the presence of irreversible mimics.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2009

Lancaster Alex K, Masel Joanna

Abstract excerpt

Reversible phenotypic switching can be caused by a number of different mechanisms including epigenetic inheritance systems and DNA-based contingency loci. Previous work has shown that reversible switching systems may be favored by natural selection. Many switches can be characterized as "on/off"...
