Abstract
We compared the properties of the error threshold transition in quasispecies evolution for three different topologies of the genome space. They are a) hypercube b) rugged landscape modelled by an ultrametric space, and c) holey landscape modelled by Bethe lattice. In all studied topologies the phase transition exists. We calculated the critical exponents in all the cases. For the critical exponent corresponding to appropriately defined susceptibility we found super-universal value.
