An uncertainty law for microbial evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Medical practice would benefit from a thorough understanding of constraints and uncertainty in microbial evolution. Higher order epistasis refers to unexpected effects of multiple mutations even if both single mutations and pairwise effects have been accounted for. Recent studies show that higher order epistasis is abundant in nature, for bacteria as well as higher organisms. However, the importance of higher...
