Although it has become routine to consider DNA in terms of its role as a carrier of genetic
information, it is also an important contributor to the control of gene expression. This …

Small non‐coding RNAs that play important regulatory roles exist in numerous organisms. In
Escherichia coli, about 60 small RNAs have been found and those that have been studied …

Soil bacteria are among the most prodigious producers of antibiotics. The Bacillus subtilis
LiaRS (formerly YvqCE) two-component system is one of several antibiotic-sensing systems …

Bacteria adapt to changes in their environment using a mechanism known as the two-
