Capturing the adaptive mutation in yeast.

Abstract excerpt

An accurate view of adaptive mutations is essential to evolutionary genetics, but their rarity makes them difficult to study. This can be partially overcome using the many tools of yeast genetics and the ability to study very large populations over many generations. Adaptation to laboratory environments has occurred primarily by chromosomal rearrangements, often involving retrotransposons and apparently selected...
