Abstract
It was predicted 60 years ago, that organisms must have a genetic buffering system that prevents numerous genetic variations from ever being expressed. In their Perspective, Mitchell-Olds and Knight discuss new work published elsewhere that implicates the molecular chaperone protein HSP90 in the genetic buffering of plant and animal cells.Keywords
