Genetic Correlations Greatly Increase Mutational Robustness and Can Both Reduce and Enhance Evolvability.

Mutational neighbourhoods in genotype-phenotype (GP) maps are widely believed to be more likely to share characteristics than expected from random chance. Such genetic correlations should strongly influence evolutionary dynamics. We explore and quantify these intuitions by comparing three GP maps-a...
