Over-representation of repeats in stress response genes: a strategy to increase versatility under stressful conditions?

Nucleic acids research - 1 May 2002

Rocha Eduardo P C, Matic Ivan, Taddei François

Abstract excerpt

The survival of individual organisms facing stress is enhanced by the induction of a set of changes. As the intensity, duration and nature of stress is highly variable, the optimal response to stress may be unpredictable. To face such an uncertain future, it may be advantageous for a clonal population to increase its phenotypic heterogeneity (bet-hedging), ensuring that at least a subset of cells would survive...
