Compensatory mutations cause excess of antagonistic epistasis in RNA secondary structure foldingClaus O Wilke
Digital Life Laboratory 136 93, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
BMC Evol Biol 3:3. 2003..However, in a number of recent studies, a prevalence of antagonistic epistasis (the tendency of multiple mutations to have a mitigating rather than reinforcing effect) has been observed...
Apparent dependence of protein evolutionary rate on number of interactions is linked to biases in protein-protein interactions data setsJesse D Bloom

Why highly expressed proteins evolve slowlyD Allan Drummond
Program in Computation and Neural Systems and Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125 4100, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:14338-43. 2005..Our results suggest that proteins evolve at rates largely unrelated to their functions and can explain why highly expressed proteins evolve slowly across the tree of life...
Evolution of mutational robustnessClaus O Wilke

Evolution of robustness in digital organismsJeffrey A Edlund
California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Artif Life 10:167-79. 2004..While such a recoding often requires sacrificing some replication speed, it is the best strategy for withstanding high rates of mutation...
Influence of chance, history, and adaptation on digital evolutionDaniel A Wagenaar
Department of Physics 103 33, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Artif Life 10:181-90. 2004..Populations that developed few computational "genes" in their original environment were unable to acquire them in the new environment...
Stability and the evolvability of function in a model proteinJesse D Bloom
Department of Chemistry, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA
Biophys J 86:2758-64. 2004..Our model also demonstrates that even in the absence of a fundamental biophysical tradeoff between stability and function, the speed with which function can evolve is limited by the stability requirement imposed on the protein...
Selection for mutational robustness in finite populationsRobert Forster
Digital Life Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
J Theor Biol 243:181-90. 2006..Our results show that quasispecies effects and neutral drift can occur concurrently, and that the relative importance of each is determined by the product of population size and mutation rate...

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys 66:011907. 2002..In the light of these, we discuss distributions of avalanche sizes in the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model...
Adaptive radiation from resource competition in digital organismsStephanie S Chow
Digital Life Laboratory 136-93, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Science 305:84-6. 2004..A diverse pool of limiting resources is sufficient to cause adaptive radiation, which is manifest by the origin and maintenance of phenotypically and phylogenetically distinct groups of organisms...
Thermodynamic prediction of protein neutralityJesse D Bloom
Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering 210 41, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:606-11. 2005..Our work unifies observations about the clustering of functional proteins in sequence space, and provides a basis for interpreting the response of proteins to substitutions in protein engineering applications...
