Ethanol exposure increases mutation rate through error-prone polymerases
Whereas the toxic effects of ethanol are well-documented, the underlying mechanism is obscure. This study uses the eukaryotic model S. cerevisiae to reveal how exposure to sublethal ethanol concentrations causes DNA replication stress and an increased mutation rate.
