Pleiotropy-a single mutation altering many traits-has long been seen as hindering adaptation. A new study in PLOS Biology offers a striking counterexample, suggesting that regulatory networks may evolve to ensure mutations are simultaneously beneficial in correlated environments.
多效性——单个突变改变多个性状——长期以来一直被视为阻碍适应。《公共科学图书馆·生物学》上的一项新研究提供了一个引人注目的反例,表明调控网络可能会进化以确保突变在相关环境中同时具有益处。
