To Stop Evolution: New Way Of Fighting Antibiotic Resistance Demonstrated By Scripps Scientists

...ink about this, Romesberg encountered a paper in a scientific journal that discussed certain genes that "make mutations," as he put it. When these genes are deleted from cells, the cells lose their ability to mutate, even when subjected to massive amounts of ultraviolet light. This brought Romesberg to the con...
