SUMMARY:Plenary Lecture 2: Cancer-like overgrowths and genomic regulatory 
 design in microbes - Frank\, S (University of California\, Irvine)

DESCRIPTION:Mutant lineages may cause cancer-like overgrowths in microbial
  populations. Theory predicts that microbial regulatory controls may be de
 signed to limit the origin and competitive potential of rogue lineages. Th
 e theory depends on the fundamental tradeoff between rate and yield in mic
 robial metabolism. The rate versus yield tradeoff and the role of cancer-l
 ike overgrowths are influenced by the genetic structure of populations and
  by demographic processes such as how long resource patches last.
