Evolution of Drosophila sex comb length illustrates the inextricable interplay between selection and variation.

abstract：:Recent single-molecule experiments reveal that mechanical tension on DNA can control both the speed and direction of the DNA polymerase motor. We present a theoretical description of this tension-induced "tuning" and "switching." The internal conformational states of the enzyme motor are represented as nodes, and the ...
