Mutator genes--pacemakers of evolution.

Abstract

Initially a genetic oddity, male recombination in Drosophilaelanogaster is now being viewed as a means of detecting mutator activity and chromosome breakage in hybridising populations and is causing us to reconsider the source and rate at which genetic variability may be generated in nature.
