Integrated Circuits: How Transcriptional Silencing and Counter-Silencing Facilitate Bacterial Evolution

Horizontal gene transfer is a major contributor to bacterial evolution and diversity. For a bacterial cell to utilize newly-acquired traits such as virulence and antibiotic resistance, new genes must be integrated into the existing regulatory circuitry to allow appropriate expression. Xenogeneic sil...
