Abstract

Molecular Evolution Molecular evolution of individual protein molecules can be described in a “landscape” of possible amino acid sequences containing peaks and valleys. Peaks characterize the beneficial nature of particular sequences for the success of organismal reproduction. Steinberg and Ostermeier designed a way for bacteria evolving under lab conditions to cross valleys in this landscape to achieve superior fitness outcomes. Sci. Adv. 10.1126.sciadv.1500921 (2016).
