Shaping space: the possible and the attainable in RNA genotype-phenotype mapping.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Oct 1998

Fontana W, Schuster P

Abstract excerpt

Understanding which phenotypes are accessible from which genotypes is fundamental for understanding the evolutionary process. This notion of accessibility can be used to define a relation of nearness among phenotypes, independently of their similarity. Because of neutrality, phenotypes denote equivalence classes of genotypes. The definition of neighborhood relations among phenotypes relies, therefore, on the...
