Mutational hotspots lead to robust but suboptimal adaptive outcomes in certain environments

L. M. Flanagan, J. S. Horton, T. B. Taylor

This study shows mutational hotspots accelerate access to robust adaptive mutations in bacteria but limit exploration of potentially stronger phenotypes in specific environments.

A mutational hotspot that determines highly repeatable evolution can be built and broken by silent genetic changes

J. S. Horton, L. M. Flanagan, R. W. Jackson, N. K. Priest, T. B. Taylor

The paper shows that silent mutations can create or eliminate a mutational hotspot that drives repeatable evolution in bacteria.
