Interactions between evolutionary processes at high mutation rates.

Abstract excerpt

Evolution at high mutation rates is minimally affected by six processes: mutation-selection balance, error catastrophes, Muller's Ratchet, robustness and compensatory evolution, and clonal interference. Including all of these processes in a tractable, analytical model is difficult, but they can be captured in simulations that utilize realistic genotype-phenotype-fitness maps, as done here by modeling RNA folding....
