Interaction between mutation type and gene pleiotropy drives parallel evolution in the laboratory
P. Ruelens, T. Wynands, A. de Visser
The paper investigates how mutation type and gene pleiotropy interact to influence evolutionary repeatability in Escherichia coli, finding that SNPs in highly pleiotropic genes provide greater fitness benefits than indels or structural variants.
