Tuning a genetic switch: experimental evolution and natural variation of prophage induction.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2010

Refardt Dominik, Rainey Paul B

Abstract excerpt

Genetic switches allow organisms to modulate their phenotype in response to environmental changes. Understanding the evolutionary processes by which switches are tuned is central to understanding how phenotypic variation is realized. Prophage induction by phage lambda is the classic example of a genetic switch and allows lambda to move between two different modes of transmission: as a lysogen it reproduces...
