Canalization: a molecular genetic perspective.

Abstract excerpt

The phenomenon of canalization--the genetic capacity to buffer developmental pathways against mutational or environmental perturbations--was first characterized in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Despite enormous subsequent progress in understanding the nature of the genetic material and the molecular basis of gene expression, there have been few attempts to interpret the classical work on canalization in...
