Predicting Parallelism and Quantifying Divergence in Microbial Evolution Experiments.

Abstract excerpt

The degree to which independent populations subjected to identical environmental conditions evolve in similar ways is a fundamental question in evolution. To address this question, microbial populations are often experimentally passaged in a given environment and sequenced to examine the tendency for similar mutations to repeatedly arise. However, there remains the need to develop an appropriate statistical...
