The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more
