The properties of adaptive walks in evolving populations of fungus.

PLoS biology - 1 Nov 2009

Schoustra Sijmen E, Bataillon Thomas, Gifford Danna R, Kassen Rees

Abstract excerpt

The rarity of beneficial mutations has frustrated efforts to develop a quantitative theory of adaptation. Recent models of adaptive walks, the sequential substitution of beneficial mutations by selection, make two compelling predictions: adaptive walks should be short, and fitness increases shoul...
