Article

A yeast prion provides a mechanism for genetic variation and phenotypic diversity.

Nature - 28 Sept 2000

True H L, Lindquist S L

Abstract excerpt

A major enigma in evolutionary biology is that new forms or functions often require the concerted effects of several independent genetic changes. It is unclear how such changes might accumulate when they are likely to be deleterious individually and be lost by selective pressure. The Saccharomyce...
