Abstract excerpt
We review the intersection between two areas of microbial evolution that were research foci of Michel Blot. One focus is the behavior of insertion sequence (IS) elements, including their role in promoting the evolutionary adaptation of their hosts. The other focus is experimental evolution, an approach that allows the dynamics of genomic and phenotypic change to be observed in the laboratory. This review shows...
