The evolutionary design of error-rates, and the fast fixation enigma.

Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere : the journal of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life - 1 Dec 1997

Ninio J

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and non-genetic error-rates are analyzed in parallel for a lower and a higher organism (E. coli and man, respectively). From the comparison of mutation with fixation rates, contrasting proposals are made, concerning the arrangement of error-rates in the two organisms. In E. coli, reproduc...
