Studying Mechanisms of Ionizing Radiation Resistance in Bacteria: Evidence for Multiple Pathways

Our lab created ionizing radiation (IR) resistant populations of E. coli MG1655 through twenty cycles of exposure to IR and outgrowth. To identify the genetic alterations responsible for increased IR tolerance, a total of seven isolates from the evolved final population were re-sequenced. However, t...
