Gene expression
Gene expression
Gene etoh-1 is induced in yeast cells when treated with high levels of ethanol. A mutation in region 1 located in the upstream cis acting regulatory region of etoh-1 results in high-level RNA transcription, and a mutation in region 2 results in increase in transcription.

I find it hard to believe that just one bacteriophage makes it per plaque, because when you spray a sample on it, there's going to be many there right?
