Variation, Variegation and Heritable Gene Repression in S. cerevisiae
Phenotypic heterogeneity provides growth advantages for a population upon changes of the environment. In S. cerevisiae, such heterogeneity has been observed as “on/off” states in the expression of individual genes in individual cells. These variations can persist for a limited or extended number of...
