1. T7 transcripts increase relative to E. coli transcripts over time.
T7 transcripts increase relative to E. coli transcripts over time. T7 transcripts ultimately constitute most of the mRNA content of infected E. coli. The top row shows total E. coli transcript abundances, and the bottom row shows total T7 abundances. Points show individual experiments, while lines connect measurements from the same biological replicate. Each bar represents the mean relative mRNA abundance for a given strain and time point. Transcript abundances are shown relative to the total mRNA content of the sample. Wild-type, recoded, and evolved strains are shown, and there are no detectable differences between the three strains.
