Toward a Functional Genetics of Adaptation: Insights From Microbial Experimental Evolution.

Abstract excerpt

A general theory of adaptation is one that accounts for both the quantitative and functional properties of adaptive evolution. To date, the field has focused more on the former and less on the latter. Here, I build on the results of adaptive laboratory evolution experiments in microbes to present a sketch for a functional theory of adaptation built around the idea that the primary source of selection in the...
