Gene regulation in Escherichia coli is commonly selected for both high plasticity and low noise.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria often respond to dynamically changing environments by regulating gene expression. Despite this regulation being critically important for growth and survival, little is known about how selection shapes gene regulation in natural populations. To better understand the role natural selection plays in shaping bacterial gene regulation, here we compare differences in the regulatory behaviour of naturally...
