Epistatically interacting substitutions are enriched during adaptive protein evolution.
Most experimental studies of epistasis in evolution have focused on adaptive changes-but adaptation accounts for only a portion of total evolutionary change. Are the patterns of epistasis during adaptation representative of evolution more broadly? We address this question by examining a pair of prot...
