Predicting evolutionary outcomes through the probability of accessing sequence variants.

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection can only operate on available genetic variation. Thus, determining the probability of accessing different sequence variants from a starting sequence can help predict evolutionary trajectories and outcomes. We define the concept of "variant accessibility" as the probability that a set of genotypes encoding a particular protein function will arise through mutations before subject to natural...
