Abstract excerpt
How complex are the rules by which a protein's sequence determines its function? High-order epistatic interactions among residues are thought to be pervasive, suggesting an idiosyncratic and unpredictable sequence-function relationship. But many prior studies may have overestimated epistasis, because they analyzed sequence-function relationships relative to a single reference sequence-which causes measurement...
