| Method |
"[Investigators] produced optical chromosomal maps for clones isolated from a long-term evolution experiment (LTEE) with E. coli. In this ongoing experiment, 12 populations have been independently propagated from a common ancestor in the same glucose-limited minimal medium for more than 25 years and 50,000 cell generations. These evolving populations have adapted to the experimental environment and have increased in competitive fitness relative to the ancestor by more than 70%, on average (primary source)." |
