第25回共生進化機構国際セミナーをオンライン開催しました。

抗生物質耐性進化の研究で知られるDr. Michael Baym (Harvard Medical School, USA) にご講演いただきました。

Abstract: While plasmids are often thought of as the vehicle of horizontal gene transfer and a major driver of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, they themselves also evolve. I’ll discuss some engineered systems to study the factors beyond host fitness affecting plasmid evolution, and what they tell us, from within-cell competition between mutants to new bacteriophages that parasitize conjugation.
