Genomic investigations of evolutionary dynamics and epistasis in microbial evolution experiments
ER Jerison, MM Desai - Current opinion in genetics & development, 2015 - Elsevier
Microbial evolution experiments enable us to watch adaptation in real time, and to quantify
the repeatability and predictability of evolution by comparing identical replicate populations …

Insertion sequence-caused large-scale rearrangements in the genome of Escherichia coli
A majority of large-scale bacterial genome rearrangements involve mobile genetic elements
such as insertion sequence (IS) elements. Here we report novel insertions and excisions of …

Reduced social function in experimentally evolved Dictyostelium discoideum implies selection for social conflict in nature
Many microbes interact with one another, but the difficulty of directly observing these
interactions in nature makes interpreting their adaptive value complicated. The social …
