Metagenome analysis of an extreme microbial symbiosis reveals eurythermal adaptation and metabolic flexibility.

abstract：:In vivo electroporation is a powerful technique for the introduction of genes into organisms. Temporal and spatial regulation of expression of introduced genes, or of RNAi, would further enhance the utility of this method. Here we demonstrate conditional regulation of gene expression from electroporated plasmids in th...
