Replication fidelity difference between daughter chains persists during evolution.

Abstract excerpt

While mutations are the engine of evolution, how mutation rates themselves evolve remains poorly understood. Previous simulation and experimental studies have often treated the mutation rate as a simple, cell-wide constant, an assumption that may not fully capture the asymmetric and dynamic nature of replication fidelity in living systems. The disparity mutagenesis model explains the conservation of replicated...
