Phenotypes can be robust and evolvable if mutations have non-local effects on sequence constraints.

Abstract excerpt

The mapping between biological genotypes and phenotypes plays an important role in evolution, and understanding the properties of this mapping is crucial to determine the outcome of evolutionary processes. One of the most striking properties observed in several genotype-phenotype (GP) maps is the positive correlation between the robustness and evolvability of phenotypes. This implies that a phenotype can be...
