We commonly acknowledge that bacterial viruses (phages) shape the composition and
evolution of bacterial communities in nature and therefore have important roles in ecosystem …

A multiagent system should be capable of fast and flexible decision-making to successfully
manage the uncertainty, variability, and dynamic change encountered when operating in the …

Cellular decision making is the process whereby cells assume different, functionally
important and heritable fates without an associated genetic or environmental difference …

When the process of cell-fate determination is examined at single-cell resolution, it is often
observed that individual cells undergo different fates even when subject to identical …

Plants are limited in their ability to choose their neighbours, but they are able to orchestrate
a wide spectrum of rational competitive behaviours that increase their prospects to prevail …

Autoinduction (AI), the response to self-produced chemical signals, is widespread in the
bacterial world. This process controls vastly different target functions, such as luminescence …

Bacteriophage lambda infection of Escherichia coli can result in distinct cell fate outcomes.
For example, some cells lyse whereas others survive as lysogens. A quantitative biophysical …

A First Course in Systems Biology is an introduction for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students to the growing field of systems biology. Its main focus is the development …

When we think about viruses we tend to consider ones that afflict humans—such as those
that cause influenza, HIV, and Ebola. Yet, vastly more viruses infect single-celled microbes …

Viral superinfection occurs when multiple viral particles subsequently infect the same host.
In nature, several viral species are found to have evolved diverse mechanisms to prevent …
