Phasevarions mediate random switching of gene expression in pathogenic Neisseria.

Phasevarions mediate random switching of gene expression in pathogenic Neisseria.

Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens contain DNA methyltransferases (mod genes) that are subject to phase-variable expression (high-frequency reversible ON/OFF switching of gene expression). In Haemophilus influenzae, the random switching of the modA gene controls expression of a phase-variable reg...
