Global epistasis makes adaptation predictable despite sequence-level stochasticity
Epistatic interactions between mutations can make evolutionary trajectories contingent on
the chance occurrence of initial mutations. We used experimental evolution in …

Experimental design, population dynamics, and diversity in microbial experimental evolution
In experimental evolution, laboratory-controlled conditions select for the adaptation of
species, which can be monitored in real time. Despite the current popularity of such …
