Functional bottlenecks can emerge from non-epistatic underlying traits

arXiv:2505.14166v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Protein fitness landscapes frequently exhibit epistasis, where the effect of a mutation depends on the genetic context in which it occurs, i.e., the rest of the protein sequence. Epistasis increases landscape complexity, ofte...
