At the same time, we made thousands of synonymous mutations in endogenous yeast genes and measured their growth. We used careful statistics and controls. Only 3%, 204 of 6874, had a fitness effect! This goes against a controversial recent result that most synonymous mutations had fitness effects.
Scatterplot showing fitness effect of ~7000 synonymous mutations in yeast: read count at start vs log2 fold change. Most data points are not significant but 204 points are significant outliers, either advantageous or deleterious.
