| Research: We can observe the set of beneficial single point mutations in the
first step in an adaptive walk along with their respective fitness
changes. The question of additivity can then be addressed, how often
and to what degree is the fitness change of pairs of these single
beneficial point mutations additive? I suspect that additivity in this
case is not the norm and currently I am conducting experiments with
the phage ID11 to test this hypothesis.
