How often do Protein Genes Navigate Valleys of Low Fitness?

2019-03-29

Abstract excerpt

In order escape from local fitness peaks, a population must navigate across valleys of low fitness. How these transitions occur, and what role they play in adaptation, have been subjects of active interest in evolutionary genetics for almost a century. However, to our knowledge, this problem has never been addressed directly, by considering the evolution of a gene, or group of genes, as a whole, including the comp...
