Cellular heterogeneity in DNA alkylation repair increases population genetic plasticity
DNA repair mechanisms fulfil a dual role, as they are essential for cell survival and genome maintenance. Here, we studied how cells regulate the interplay between DNA repair and mutation. We focused on the adaptive response that increases the resistance of Escherichia coli cells to DNA alkylation d...
