Biophysical ambiguities prevent accurate genetic prediction
In quantitative genetics, it is widely assumed that mutations combine additively or epistasis can be predicted with statistical or mechanistic models. Here, the authors use the phage lambda repressor model to show how biophysical ambiguity and non-monotonic functions confound phenotypic prediction.
