Non-random mutations and directed evolution.

Abstract excerpt

A review of mutation mechanisms across a range of organisms (including viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, and humans) has been performed. Considering the complexity of their genomes and population sizes, it is concluded that mutations leading to the emergence of beneficial adaptations are not random but are instead regulated processes. While some mutations occur randomly and can be used to reconstruct...
