  text: Organisms cope with change by employing transcriptional regulators. However,
    when faced with rare environments, the evolution of transcriptional regulators
    and their promoters may be too slow. We ask whether the intrinsic instability
    of gene duplication and amplification provides a generic alternative to canonical
    gene regulation. By real-time monitoring of gene copy number mutations in E. coli,
    we show that gene duplications and amplifications enable adaptation to fluctuating
    environments by rapidly generating copy number, and hence expression level, polymorphism.
    This ‘amplification-mediated gene expression tuning’ occurs on timescales similar
    to canonical gene regulation and can deal with rapid environmental changes. Mathematical
    modeling shows that amplifications also tune gene expression in stochastic environments
    where transcription factor-based schemes are hard to evolve or maintain. The fleeting
    nature of gene amplifications gives rise to a generic population-level mechanism
    that relies on genetic heterogeneity to rapidly tune expression of any gene, without
    leaving any genomic signature.
