Darwinian Evolution of Prions in Cell Culture
Open accessAbstract
DNA-less Evolution: Prions are proteinaceous infectious elements involved in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including scrapie in sheep and so-called mad cow disease in cattle. Now Li et al. (p. 869 , published online 31 December) show that, when propagated in tissue culture cells, cloned prion populations become diverse by mutational events and can undergo selective amplification. Thus, even though devoid of a coding genome, prions, when propagated under a particular selection regime, can be subject to rapid evolution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
