AB - By knowing the mechanisms through which genetic variants are generated, we should gain a better understanding of evolution. Two new papers — one theoretical and one experimental — show that mutator alleles (which can lead to a huge increase in mutation rate) can speed up the rate at which bacteria adapt to a changing environment, even if these alleles remain at a low frequency.
