Abstract excerpt
The analysis of published data from E coli suggests that in all three processes of translation, transcription, and replication, a minority of errors are produced by sub-classes of error-prone components. These add to the basal level of errors a noise of about 10 to 30%. Each one of the three processes contributes to the noisiness of the two others in a loose manner: a large increase in one error-rate produces a...
