Experimental evolution: experimental evolution and evolvability [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 The suggestion that there are characteristics of living organisms that have evolved because they increase the rate of evolution is controversial and difficult to study. In this review, we examine the role that experimental evolution might play in resolving this issue.

Experimental Evolution of Innovation and Novelty
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 How does novelty, a new, genetically based function, evolve? A compelling answer has been elusive because there are few model systems where both the genetic mechanisms generating novel functions and the ecological conditions that govern their origin and spread can be studied in detail.

Experimental Evolution in Tetrahymena [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Experimental evolution has provided novel insight into a wide array of biological processes. Species in the genus Tetrahymena are proving to be a highly useful system for studying a range of questions using experimental evolution. Their unusual genomic architecture, diversity of life history traits, importance as both predator and prey, and amenability

Predicting Parallelism and Quantifying Divergence in Microbial Evolution Experiments
mSphere, 2022 The degree to which independent populations subjected to identical environmental conditions evolve in similar ways is a fundamental question in evolution.

Prevalent emergence of reciprocity among cross-feeding bacteria
ISME Communications, 2022 Explaining the de novo evolution of obligate cooperative cross-feeding interactions among bacteria is a fundamental problem. A critical step during this process is the emergence of reciprocity among two interaction partners, because a mutually beneficial

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012 Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach is increasingly used to study adaptation, estimate evolutionary parameters, and test diverse evolutionary hypotheses.

Evolution of the Experimental Models of Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare, aggressive disease with poor overall survival. In advanced cases, surgery is often not possible or fails; in addition, there is a lack of effective and specific therapies. Multidisciplinary approaches and advanced technologies have improved the knowledge of CCA molecular pathogenesis, highlighting its extreme ...

Using flow cytometry for mitochondrial assays
MethodsX, 2020 The understanding of how different cell types adapt their metabolism in the face of challenges has been attracting the attention of researchers for many years. Recently, immunologists also started to focus on how the metabolism of immune cells can impact

Mutational robustness changes during long-term adaptation in laboratory budding yeast populations
eLife, 2022 As an adapting population traverses the fitness landscape, its local neighborhood (i.e., the collection of fitness effects of single-step mutations) can change shape because of interactions with mutations acquired during evolution.
