In addition, students will examine transposon mutants and transformed bacterial strains to determine which gene products interact with host cell mediators. This work will contribute to a better ...

In this case, the bacteria apparently sense when there is tetracycline in the environment and begin "a whole cascade" of production of a transposon containing the resistance gene, Vineis says.

RNA is isolated from two pools of bacteria that were grown under different ... hybridization of the RNA samples to a microarray. (c) Transposon site hybridization identifies conditionally ...
