Evolution of genetic redundancy: the relevance of complexity in genotype–phenotype mapping

Evolution of genetic redundancy: the relevance of complexity in genotype–phenotype mapping

Genetic redundancy is ubiquitous and can be found in any organism. However, it has been argued that genetic redundancy reduces total population fitness, and therefore, redundancy is unlikely to evolve. In this letter, we study an evolutionary model with high-dimensional genotype-phenotype mapping (GPM) to investigate the relevance of complexity in …
