Annotation:

Author: Joshua Lederberg. Date Written: July 17, 2002. KW: phase variation, has since been found to be a strategem deployed very widely in the microbial world - but, pace transposons and rag/immunobiology,, not seen in multicellulars. Perhaps not looked for hard enough. Elucidation by Iino, Simon and others of reversible DNA inversion led in turn to site-specific recombinases, which are now an indispensable too for gene knockouts and other manipulations in genetic engineering; more: jl 7/17/02
