Gene That Shapes Mutation Rate Discovered in Mice - SciTechDaily

The finding supports theory that genetic differences between individuals and species can affect the acquisition of mutations. Every organism is born with a few mutations in its genome that differ genetically from both of its parents. Such changes in an indivi…
