Measuring Genetic Robustness in Vesicular Stomatitis Virus

Genetic robustness is the ability of a genome to incorporate mutations with the result of no fitness changes. Thus, more robust viruses have an increased neutral mutation rate. This property is particularly important in RNA viruses due to their high mutation rates. The most direct way of measuring r...
