Genetics of selection-induced mutations: I. uvrA, uvrB, uvrC, and uvrD are selection-induced specific mutator loci.

Abstract excerpt

Selection-induced mutations, sometimes called "directed," "adaptive," or "Cairnsian" mutations, are spontaneous mutations that occur as specific responses to environmental challenges, usually during periods of prolonged stress, and that occur more often when they are selectively advantageous than...
