Errors in mutagenesis and the benefit of cell-to-cell signalling in the evolution of stress-induced mutagenesis
Stress-induced mutagenesis is a widely observed phenomenon. Theoretical models have shown that stress-induced mutagenesis can be favoured by natural selection due to the beneficial mutations it generates. These models, however, assumed an error-free regulation of mutation rate in response to stress....
