Estimated phenotype-fitness landscape.

open access: yes, 2022
(A–H) The phenotype-fitness landscape obtained using Gaussian smoothing for eight drugs is presented. The resistance levels were normalized to a maximum value of one (see Materials and methods).

The fitness landscape of a tRNA gene [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2016
Epistasis and mutational fitness landscape A fitness landscape of a gene defines the molecular potential of evolution. This can help us understand the current state of evolution as well as predict unrealized potential. Using deep sequencing to examine mutations in nonessential genes that affect the growth of yeast

Fitness landscape for nucleosome positioning [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Histone–DNA complexes, so-called nucleosomes, are the building blocks of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. The histone-binding affinity of a local DNA segment depends on its elastic properties and determines its accessibility within the nucleus, which plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression.

Mutational robustness changes during long-term adaptation in laboratory budding yeast populations

open access: yeseLife, 2022
As an adapting population traverses the fitness landscape, its local neighborhood (i.e., the collection of fitness effects of single-step mutations) can change shape because of interactions with mutations acquired during evolution.

Fitness landscape analysis of weight-elimination neural networks

open access: yes, 2018
Neural network architectures can be regularised by adding a penalty term to the objective function, thus minimising network complexity in addition to the error.

Many Activities, One Structure: Functional Plasticity of Ribozyme Folds

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Catalytic RNAs, or ribozymes, are involved in a number of essential biological processes, such as replication of RNA genomes and mobile genetic elements, RNA splicing, translation, and RNA degradation.

On simplified global nonlinear function for fitness landscape: a case study of inverse protein folding. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The construction of fitness landscape has broad implication in understanding molecular evolution, cellular epigenetic state, and protein structures. We studied the problem of constructing fitness landscape of inverse protein folding or protein design ...

Inferring protein fitness landscapes from laboratory evolution experiments.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2023
Directed laboratory evolution applies iterative rounds of mutation and selection to explore the protein fitness landscape and provides rich information regarding the underlying relationships between protein sequence, structure, and function.

Experimental illumination of a fitness landscape [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
The genes of all organisms have been shaped by selective pressures. The relationship between gene sequence and fitness has tremendous implications for understanding both evolutionary processes and functional constraints on the encoded proteins. Here, we have exploited deep sequencing technology to experimentally determine the fitness of all possible ...

Time Toxicity in Wilms Tumor: Quantifying the Burden of Healthcare Interaction in the First Year After Diagnosis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...
