T cell adaptive immunity proceeds through environment-induced adaptation from the exposure of cryptic genetic variation
Evolution is often characterized as a process involving incremental genetic changes that are slowly discovered and fixed in a population through genetic drift and selection. However, a growing body of evidence is finding that changes in the environment frequently induce adaptations that are much to...
