Evolutionary genetics. Directed mutations slip-sliding away?

Current biology : CB - 1 Feb 1995

Lenski R E, Sniegowski P D

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive frameshift mutations in the lacZ gene of Escherichia coli are, unusually, nearly all short deletions, perhaps caused by slipped-strand mispairings in mononucleotide runs. But are they directed?
