The role of mutational robustness in RNA virus evolution.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 May 2013

Lauring Adam S, Frydman Judith, Andino Raul

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses face dynamic environments and are masters at adaptation. During their short 'lifespans', they must surmount multiple physical, anatomical and immunological challenges. Central to their adaptative capacity is the enormous genetic diversity that characterizes RNA virus populations. Although genetic diversity increases the rate of adaptive evolution, low replication fidelity can present a risk because...
