Excess of mutational jackpot events in expanding populations revealed by spatial Luria–Delbrück experiments
Large mutant clones arising from early mutations in growing cell populations facilitate short-term evolution in microbes and in tumours. Here the authors analyse spatially expanding colonies, and show that large mutant clones can also arise late when they surf at expanding frontiers.
