Asymmetrical template-DNA strand segregation can explain density-associated mutation-rate plasticity

2018-04-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The mutation rate is a fundamental factor in evolutionary genetics. Recently, mutation rates were found to be strongly reduced at high density in a wide range of unicellular organisms, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Independently, cell division was found to become more asymmetrical at increasing density in diverse organisms; in yeast, some ‘mother’ cells continue dividing, while their ‘offspring’ ce...
