Out now in PLOS Computational Biology 🧬 We have an established theoretical framework for genotype–phenotype (GP) maps, describing their structural features and how those features shape evolution. But much of this assumes one discrete phenotype per genotype - which is often not true.

🧵 New preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... In 2023, Papkou et al. reported an empirical fitness landscape with a striking property: >500 local optima ("peaks"), spanning both high and low fitness. Despite this ruggedness, >75% of simulated adaptive walks reached the top ~14% of peaks.

Excited with two new preprints on evolution of molecular structure, in RNA (doi.org/10.1101/2025..., @n-martin.bsky.social) and proteins (doi.org/10.1101/2025...). Both RNA and protein structures are often conserved across evolution, but the underlying reasons are very different.

Due to the stochasticity of biological processes, many realistic genotype-phenotype maps are non-deterministic (ND). ND maps from distinct computational models share features at a coarse-grained level. These shared features can be reproduced with a simple model: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
biorxiv.org
A simple model captures key characteristics of biological non-deterministic genotype-phenotype maps
By connecting genotypic mutations to the higher-order phenotypes relevant for selection, genotype-phenotype (GP) maps play a key role in evolution. GP maps are typically investigated using computation...
