Parallel emergence of negative epistasis across experimental lineages.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2017

Zee Peter C, Velicer Gregory J

Abstract excerpt

Epistatic interactions can greatly impact evolutionary phenomena, particularly the process of adaptation. Here, we leverage four parallel experimentally evolved lineages to study the emergence and trajectories of epistatic interactions in the social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus. A social gene (pilA) necessary for effective group swarming on soft agar had been deleted from the common ancestor of these lineages....
