Embracing Complexity: Yeast Evolution Experiments Featuring Standing Genetic Variation.

Abstract excerpt

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a long and esteemed history as a model system for laboratory selection experiments. The majority of yeast evolution experiments begin with an isogenic ancestor, impose selection as cells divide asexually, and track mutations that arise and accumulate over time. Within the last decade, the popularity of S. cerevisiae as a model system for exploring the evolution of standing...
