EVOLUTION (COOK) AND MUTATION (WAAGEN)

Evolution: Constantly avoiding mutation

The genomic mutation rate of the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, which inhabits a harsh and potentially mutagenic environment, surprisingly agrees well with the previously observed constancy of genomic mutation rates in microbes. The evolutionary explanation for this constancy of genomic mutation rates remains obscure.

Evolution by Mutation

I t is not possible for me to represent the high tradition of Josiah Willard Gibbs by offering you a mathematical treatment. Nevertheless, the subject of biological evolution and its mechanism must be of great interest to yourselves, as the most exemplary products of its operation. Perhaps, then, our reconnaissance flight over these biological jungles, and our attempts to measure certain aspect...

The current mechanism for providing affordable housing through the planning system in England is based on negotiation within the framework of Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 and Circular 6/98. In this paper the authors examine three groups of questions. First, on the development of the policy, they look at how the need for affordable housing is assessed, how the policy evolved, and how it is cu...
