The role of recombination in evolutionary adaptation of Escherichia coli to a novel nutrient.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2017

Chu H-Y, Sprouffske K, Wagner A

Abstract excerpt

The benefits and detriments of recombination for adaptive evolution have been studied both theoretically and experimentally, with conflicting predictions and observations. Most pertinent experiments examine recombination's effects in an unchanging environment and do not study its genomewide effects. Here, we evolved six replicate populations of either highly recombining R+ or lowly recombining R- E. coli strains...
