Faculty member’s paper selected by ‘Faculty of 1000’ review as one of the most important advances in biology

Dr. Baer and colleagues’ paper, “Bias and evolution of the mutationally accessible phenotypic space in a developmental system” published in PLoS Genetics 2010 6(3), was named by the Faculty of 1000 Biology as one most important advances in biology. Dr. Rainey’s (reviewer) comments: “This paper adds to the growing body of experimental evidence which shows that genetic/developmental constraints bias the variation presented to selection and thus affect the course of phenotypic evolution.” Congrats!
