Impact of epistasis and pleiotropy on evolutionary adaptation
Evolutionary adaptation is often likened to climbing a hill or peak. While this process is
simple for fitness landscapes where mutations are independent, the interaction between …

In silico modelling of directed evolution: Implications for experimental design and stepwise evolution
We model the process of directed evolution (DE) in silico using genetic algorithms. Making
use of the NK fitness landscape model, we analyse the effects of mutation rate, crossover …
