Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The book aims to integrate information from the very latest research on bacterial chromosome and nucleoid architecture, whole-genome analysis, cell signaling and gene expression control with well-known gene regulation paradigms from model organisms to give the reader a picture of how information flows from the environment to the gene, modulating its expression and influencing the competitive fitness of the microbe. The general public is aware that bacteria can come in benign forms and forms that pose threats to health. This book will explore the governance of the expression of the genes that make a bacterium what it is: a friend or foe to the human/animal/plant host. The reader will learn that the factors that govern the expression of genes by turning them on or off often contribute to the organization of the genetic material within the cell. Our understanding of the architecture of the genome has advanced rapidly in recent years and we are learning more and more about the forces that work to keep |

genomes the way they are, to change them and the consequences of change for the life of the evolving bacterium. These conservative and disruptive forces will be described, together with their influence on gene expression. The book will also review the basics of gene expression control, bringing the topic up-to-date with information about small RNAs, RNAs that sense chemical signals and the role of DNA as a regulatory factor as well as a carrier of genetic information and will consider where these genes are placed in the core genome and how they are regulated using a combination of imported control proteins and pre-existing ones. The reader will also gain a clearer understanding of the rules that govern microbial cells and how we can exploit this knowledge to enhance the benefits offered by benign microbes, limit the damage caused by malign ones and begin the process of synthesizing artificial ones to meet needs in human society"--Provided by publisher. |

Sommario/riassunto |

In DISCIPLINARY CONQUEST, Ricardo Salvatore argues that the foundation of the discipline of Latin American studies, pioneered between 1900 and 1945, was linked to the United States’s business and financial interests and informal imperialism. In contrast, the consolidation of Latin American studies has traditionally been placed in the 1960s, as a reaction to the Cuban Revolution. Focusing on five representative U.S. scholars of South America—historian Clarence Haring, geographer Isaiah Bowman, political scientist Leo Rowe, sociologist Edward Ross, and archaeologist Hiram Bingham -- Salvatore demonstrates how their search for comprehensive knowledge about South America can be understood as a contribution to hemispheric hegemony, an intellectual conquest of the region. U.S. economic leaders, diplomats, and foreign-policy experts needed knowledge about the region to expand investment and trade, as well as the U.S.’s international influence |
