Signals, Switches, Regulons, and Cascades: Control of Bacterial Gene Expression

Decoding the Bacterial Blueprint: Gene Expression Control

DNA sequencing has unlocked a treasure trove of information within bacterial genomes. Techniques like DNA arrays and proteomics are revolutionizing our capacity to map gene expression patterns as bacteria adapt to their surroundings.

However, effectively controlling bacteria for clinical, industrial, or environmental applications hinges on a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that bridge environmental inp…
