Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic plasticity is an evolvable property of biological systems that can arise from environment-specific regulation of gene expression. To better understand the evolutionary and molecular mechanisms that give rise to plasticity in gene expression, we quantified the effects of 235 single-nucleotide mutations in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae TDH3 promoter (PTDH3 ) on the activity of this promoter in media...
