Effect of robustness on selection of a mutation-rate regulating gene.

Abstract excerpt

We study the evolution of a population of sequences, where each sequence is divided into a reproduction-rate (fitness) encoding part and a mutation-rate regulating part. Evolutionary selection acts on the sequence both by a direct fitness landscape and by indirect selection on a mutation landscape through which the sequence's mutation rate is determined, thereby providing a model of a mutation-rate-regulating...
