Transient mutation bias increases the predictability of evolution on an empirical genotype-phenotype landscape.

Abstract excerpt

Predicting how a population will likely navigate a genotype-phenotype landscape requires consideration of selection in combination with mutation bias, which can skew the likelihood of following a particular trajectory. Strong and persistent directional selection can drive populations to ascend toward a peak. However, with a greater number of peaks and more routes to reach them, adaptation inevitably becomes less...
