Deskripsi

Analyses of both natural and experimental evolution suggest that adaptation depends on the evolutionary past and adaptive potential decreases over time. Here, by tracking yeast adaptation with DNA barcoding, the authors show that such evolutionary phenomena can be observed even after a single adaptive step.
