Mistranslation can enhance fitness through purging of deleterious mutations
Mistranslation results in amino acid changes in proteins known as phenotypic mutations and these occur at a much higher rate than DNA mutations. Here, the authors show that mistranslation can increase the response to directional selection by exacerbating the fitness effects of deleterious DNA mutati...
