force in adaptive evolution… entirely consistent with standard evolutionary theory. We further …

… evolution of genetic diversity, mutational robustness, and evolvability. Taken together, our
… show that mutation bias and composition bias interact to influence adaptive evolution under …

… S4, even under the assumption that 40% of the events are contaminants, we observe a
strong and statistically significant influence of mutation bias on adaptive evolution. In fact, we …

… mutation bias is anticipated to improve evolutionary forecasting, in regard to topics such as
infectious diseases, cancer and other kinds of somatic evolution… underlying adaptive evolution…
