Manoshi S. Datta, Kishony Roy

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

In the debate about how bacterial mutations arise, an experiment in 1943 showed that they can occur spontaneously and independently of a selection pressure. This study also popularized the use of maths-driven analysis of biological data.
