Abstract excerpt
"Evolve and resequence" (E&R) studies combine experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing to interrogate the genetics underlying adaptation. Due to ease of handling, E&R work with asexual organisms such as bacteria can employ optimized experimental design, with large experiments and many generations of selection. By contrast, E&R experiments with sexually reproducing organisms are more difficult to...
