Abstract
I started my faculty career in 1981 at the UW-Madison in the Department of Bacteriology and moved to the University of California, San Francisco in 1993, where I am a Professor in the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology and Cell and Tissue Biology. In this article, I first review my contributions to understanding the molecular biology of the bacterial transcriptional apparatus and the global role of alternative sigmas (σs), a major pillar of bacterial transcriptional control. I then discuss my role in spearheading the development of bacterial systems biology, specifically to the genome-wide phenotyping approaches necessary for rapid understanding of gene function and the molecular basis of pathway connections across the bacterial universe.
