Evolution at increased error rate leads to the coexistence of multiple adaptive pathways in an RNA virus

Evolution at increased error rate leads to the coexistence of multiple adaptive pathways in an RNA virus

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>When beneficial mutations present in different genomes spread simultaneously in an asexual population, their fixation can be delayed due to competition among them. This interference among mutations is mainly determined by the rate of...
