I'm also interested in this idea. What, for example, if the chance of mutation is a genetic trait? Could we find the genes responsible and make super-mutatey species for lab experiments?
Love "super mutatey"
I suppose we already have that in bacteria. They seem to be able to mutate at the drop of a hat. Bad news for us of course...
