An Undergraduate Laboratory Exploring Mutational Mechanisms in Escherichia coli Based on the Luria-Delbrück Experiment

ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanism for DNA mutations is a key concept in most genetics and microbiology courses. In addition, understanding that most mutations occur prior to exposure to selection is an important yet often difficult concept for students to grasp. We developed an undergraduate labo...
