Escherichia coli with a Tunable Point Mutation Rate for Evolution Experiments.

Abstract excerpt

The mutation rate and mutations' effects on fitness are crucial to evolution. Mutation rates are under selection due to linkage between mutation rate modifiers and mutations' effects on fitness. The linkage between a higher mutation rate and more beneficial mutations selects for higher mutation r...
