Genetics: Hotheaded healer
Detlef Weigel1 & Gerd Jürgens2
Abstract
A previously unknown way of reversing genome-wide sequence changes in DNA has been revealed by an analysis of plants carrying mutations in a gene called HOTHEAD. The mechanism remains a mystery.
Variety is the spice of life. This adage applies as much to genetic material as to anything else — if DNA were static, there would be no change over time and no evolution.
