Spontaneous Mutations Decrease Sensitivity of Gene Expression to Random Environmental Variation in Caenorhabditis elegans
BACKGROUND: Biological phenotypes are described as “canalized” if they are robust to minor variation of environment and/or genetic background. The existence of a robust phenotype logically implies that some underlying mechanism must be variable, in the sense of “able to vary”, in order to compensate...
