An extreme mutational hotspot in nlpD depends on transcriptional induction of rpoS.
Mutation rate varies within and between genomes. Within genomes, tracts of nucleotides, including short sequence repeats and palindromes, can cause localised elevation of mutation rate. Additional mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we report an instance of extreme mutational bias in Pseudomon...
