Mutation frequency decline' (MFD) was discovered about forty years ago, and described as the disappearance of a particular class of ultraviolet light-induced mutations in Escherichia coli that occurred whenever protein synthesis was briefly inhibited immediately after irradiation. Later, MFD was int

In order to better understand life, it is helpful to look beyond the envelop of life as we know it. A simple model of coevolution was implemented with the addition of a gene for the mutation rate of the individual. This allowed the mutation rate itself to evolve in a lineage. The model shows that wh
I investigate the hypothesis that mutation rates in natural populations are determined by a balance between: (1) selection against deleterious mutations favouring lower mutation rates, and (2) selection opposing further reduction of the mutation rate, resulting from the costs incurred by more string
