Cellular and molecular evolution is generally considered to proceed by many slow, gradual changes, but certain kinds of events can also lead to rapid, drastic changes. Although rare, such events can have a substantial impacts on the cell and genome where they take place, so their overall importance rivals that of the more gradual processes. We are studying the effects of two such events in complex microbial cells.

细胞和分子的进化通常被认为是通过许多缓慢、渐进的变化进行的，但某些类型的事件也可能导致快速、剧烈的变化。虽然罕见，但这些事件可能对它们发生的细胞和基因组产生重大影响，因此它们的整体重要性与更渐进的过程相媲美。我们正在研究两个这样的事件在复杂的微生物细胞中的影响。
