The application of whole-genome sequencing to the study of microbial evolution promises to reveal the complex functional networks of mutations that underlie adaptation. A recent study of parallel evolution in populations of Escherichia coli shows how adaptation involves both functional changes to specific proteins as well as global changes in regulation.
将全基因组测序应用于微生物进化研究,有望揭示构成适应性基础的复杂突变功能网络。最近一项对大肠杆菌群体平行进化的研究表明,适应性如何涉及特定蛋白质的功能变化以及调控方面的全局变化。
