Experimental evolution for niche breadth in bacteriophage T4 highlights the importance of structural genes

2019-06-13

Abstract excerpt

Ecologists have long studied the evolution of niche breadth, including how variability in environments can drive the evolution of specialism and generalism. This concept is of particular interest in viruses, where niche-breadth evolution may explain viral disease emergence, or underlie the potential for therapeutic measures like phage therapy. Despite the significance and potential applications of virus-host inter...
