DESCRIPTION:Bacterial persistence is probably the best-established example
  of a system  where noisy gene expression provides a fitness benefit. By i
 nducing switching  between two phenotypes\, one well-adapted to growth-pro
 moting conditions and one  adapted to survival in hostile conditions\, noi
 se allows provides a mechanism  that allows a population to deal with unpr
 edictable environmental conditions. In  the talk I will discuss the gene c
 ircuits and feedback underlying persistence\,  aspects of the evolution of
  these circuits as well as how such heterogeneity of  the population can b
 e advantageous for the spreading of a population in  space. <br><br>Relate
