Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of adaptation, reversion, and compensation have been central topics in microbial evolution, and several studies have attempted to resolve the population genetics underlying how these dynamics occur. However, questions remain regarding how certain features-the evolution of mutators and whether compensatory mutations alleviate costs fully or partially-may influence the evolutionary dynamics of...
