The following note is extracted part of the HFSP Journal article entitled "Robustness versus evolvability: A paradigm revisited," in Erich authors Bornberg-Bauer and Linus Kramer.
This article discusses the relationship between evolvability and robustness in biological systems. Evolvability is the property of many biological systems to adapt to new environmental viewing requirements. Robustness apparently corresponds to an opposite characteristic. However, many biological systems have two characteristics, which has been source of many debates in the past decades. A recently published model Draghi et al. [Nature 463, 353-355 (2010)], so elegantly avoids complications arising from laboratory observations of molecular systems by proposing an analytical solution, which surprisingly, is independent of the parameters chosen. Depending on the number of mutations, and the number of accessible phenotypes for any genotype, evolution and the Robuistez can be reconciled.

The Following news item is taken in part from the June, 2010 issue of HFSP J titled “Robustness versus evolvability: A paradigm revisited,” by Erich Bornberg-Bauer and Linus Kramer.
Evolvability is the property of a biological system to quickly adapt to new requirements. Robustness seems to be the opposite. Nonetheless many biological systems display both properties–a puzzling observation, which has caused many debates over the last decades. A recently published model by Draghi et al. [Nature 463, 353–355 (2010)] elegantly circumvents complications of earlier in silico studies of molecular systems and provides an analytical solution, which is surprisingly independent from parameter choice. Depending on the mutation rate and the number of accessible phenotypes at any given genotype, evolvability and robustness Can Be Reconciled.
