Abstract excerpt
Repeated (parallel or convergent) evolution is often taken as evidence of adaptation and is relevant to the predictability of evolution. However, much remains unknown about the genetic basis of repeated evolution. Here, we use genome editing to progressively knock out all the complete transposable elements, a rich source of mutations, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. While progressive knockout has...
