Abstract excerpt
Functional effects of different mutations are known to combine to the total effect in highly nontrivial ways. For the trait under evolutionary selection ('fitness'), measured values over all possible combinations of a set of mutations yield a fitness landscape that determines which mutational states can be reached from a given initial genotype. Understanding the accessibility properties of fitness landscapes is...
