Abstract excerpt
Epistasis is an evolutionary phenomenon whereby the fitness effect of a mutation depends on the genetic background in which it arises. A key source of epistasis in an RNA molecule is its secondary structure, which contains functionally important topological motifs held together by hydrogen bonds between Watson-Crick (WC) base pairs. Here we study epistasis in the secondary structure of severe acute respiratory...
