Abstract excerpt
Expression of a number of eukaryotic genes is regulated by long stretches of tandem repeats located within the 5' untranslated region of the particular gene. In this study, we describe a regulatory system in Haemophilus influenzae with striking similarities to those found in eukaryotes. We show t...
