And we have documented such cases of ‘rescue / suppressor / compensatory mutations’ which establishes a genetic background where otherwise lethal mutations are rendered less harmful or virtually harmless.

It seems intuitive that repeated cycles of mutation and rescue are likely to lead to genes that are more robust to deleterious mutations.

I had another comment in the moderation queue but anything else I might say is extraneous.

Did that comment make it through the queue yet? I sent several back for the opportunity to edit (because the comment they were replying to may have changed). If this was you, just edit the comment to make any change and resubmit, it should automatically be approved.
