Molecular Darwinism: the contingency of spontaneous genetic variation.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2011

Arber Werner

Abstract excerpt

The availability of spontaneously occurring genetic variants is an important driving force of biological evolution. Largely thanks to experimental investigations by microbial geneticists, we know today that several different molecular mechanisms contribute to the overall genetic variations. These...
