Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic selection can cause the transient, selective upregulation of fitness-conferring genes in isogenic cell populations under stress, producing selective enrichment of the fitness gene relative to a neutral reference gene. While computational models have shown that such enrichment requires noisy gene expression and a cellular memory linking growth rate to gene expression (Ciechonska et al. 2022), the...
