The Evolution of Reversible Switches in the Presence of Irreversible Mimics

Reversible phenotypic switching can be caused by a number of different mechanisms including epigenetic inheritance systems and DNA-based contingency loci. Previous work has shown that reversible switching systems may be favored by natural selection. Many switches can be characterized as “on/off” whe...
