    Notes: Gene transfer between organisms is a prime contributor to evolution. Bacterial conjugation is probably the most important mechanism by which genes are spread among prokaryotes and perhaps also contributes to eukaryotic evolution. Conjugation is mediated by plasmids. The mechanism of conjugation remains ill-understood despite progress in the identification, mapping and sequencing of genes required for plasmid transmission. All conjugation-specific genes (those required only for DNA transfer and establishment) identified to date map to plasmids. We found that IncP plasmids could enter and subsequently convert maxicells, which are trapped in a metabolic state that prevents de novo expression of chromosomal genes, into conjugative donors. This suggests that IncP plasmids encode not only necessary functions but indeed all functions specific to DNA transmission. Thus, like viruses, plasmids can convert non-viable cells into gene vectors.

    Notes: [Auszug] Transgenic crops are approved for release in some countries, while many more countries are wrestling with the issue of how to conduct risk assessments. Controls on field trials often include monitoring of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from crops to surrounding soil microorganisms. Our analysis of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - Enquist and Arak's paper1 and the accompanying News and Views arti-cle by Hewlett2 about modelling the evolution of characteristics using a neural network are taken as qualified support for Darwin's sexual selection hypothesis. In the process, several prob-lems emerge. First, the results are ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - I am aware of two letters (John P. Gibson Nature 346, 213; 1990 and Peter H. Fitzgerald Nature 362, 388; 1993) discussing pay differentials at New Zealand universities for the same position occupied by a researcher with either medical or academic training. Both argue lucidly that if a ...
