Environmentally responsive mutator systems: toward a unifying perspective.

Rivista di biologia - 1 Jan 1998

Lieber M M

Abstract excerpt

Biology has long sought a unifying principle. The behaviour of genetically controlled mutator processes adaptively responsive to stress may reflect such a principle. Related mutators exist in diverse organisms from bacteria to mammals. Such systems have evolved from one another and have defined the very evolution of organisms. Many of these mutator systems can determine in a developmental manner a ultramutability...
