Sign epistasis caused by hierarchy within signalling cascades
Sign epistasis clearly constrains evolution, but its causes are difficult to decipher. Here, the authors study epistasis in a signalling cascade, and arrive at a general criterion and understanding of sign epistasis as arising from the inherent hierarchy between signalling cascade components.
