The nature of mutation: a legacy of bacterial genetics.

Abstract excerpt

A central question in the fields of genetics and evolution was the nature and origin of spontaneous mutation. Bacterial genetic experiments throughout the middle of the 20th century were key to understanding how genomes change and what cellular mechanisms act to limit such change. These mechanisms are shared among all life on the planet and have implications for human diseases and aging. The purpose of this...
