Chance favors the prepared genome.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 18 May 1999

Caporale L H

Abstract excerpt

Most descriptions of mutation have emphasized its negative consequences, and randomness with respect to biological function. This book seeks to balance the discussion by emphasizing mechanisms that both diversify the genome and increase the probability that a genome's descendants will survive. This chapter provides a framework for, and overview of, the diverse contributions to this book; these contributions will...
