Abstract excerpt
The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of new beneficial mutations is a key quantity that dictates the dynamics of adaptation. The barcode lineage tracking (BLT) approach is an important advance toward measuring DFEs. BLT experiments enable researchers to track the frequencies of ~105 barcoded lineages in large microbial populations and detect up to thousands of nascent beneficial mutations in a single...
