Evolution of functional diversification within quasispecies.

Abstract excerpt

According to quasispecies theory, high mutation rates limit the amount of information genomes can store (Eigen's Paradox), whereas genomes with higher degrees of neutrality may be selected even at the expenses of higher replication rates (the "survival of the flattest" effect). Introducing a complex genotype to phenotype map, such as RNA folding, epitomizes such effect because of the existence of neutral networks...
