What Does the Talking?: Quorum Sensing Signalling Genes Discovered in a Bacteriophage Genome

The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them. The expression of these phage genes can subvert or...
