Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary reversibility-the ability to regain a lost function-is an important problem both in evolutionary and synthetic biology, where repairing natural or synthetic systems broken by evolutionary processes may be valuable. Here, we use a synthetic positive-feedback (PF) gene circuit integrated into haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to test if the population can restore lost PF function. In previous...
