The interplay between epigenetic mechanisms and deleterious mutations: implications for fitness, evolution and conservation
2026-01-13
Abstract excerpt
Understanding the causal effects of genetic mutations is essential for explaining fitness variation, forecasting evolutionary trajectories and assessing extinction risk, yet remains a fundamental challenge, particularly in natural populations. While amino acid substitutions can alter protein structure and function, mutations affecting gene regulation can also have significant fitness consequences. In this Opinion...
