DNA Damage, Genome Stability, and Adaptation: A Question of Chance or Necessity?

Genes - 21 Apr 2024

Herrick John

Abstract excerpt

DNA damage causes the mutations that are the principal source of genetic variation. DNA damage detection and repair mechanisms therefore play a determining role in generating the genetic diversity on which natural selection acts. Speciation, it is commonly assumed, occurs at a rate set by the level of standing allelic diversity in a population. The process of speciation is driven by a combination of two...
