Over 3,000 generations of laboratory evolution, researchers watched as their model organism, 'snowflake yeast,' began to adapt as multicellular individuals. In new research, the team shows how ...
A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce cell size without significantly compromising cells' ability to grow. The work, ...
Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...
Laboratory evolution experiments in microbial and viral populations have provided great insight into the dynamics and predictability of evolution. The rise of high-throughput sequencing technologies ...

Continuous stirring made early life-like RNA systems more extinction-prone, experiment shows
Recent research showed that an artificially constructed self-replicating RNA system modeling primitive life at the origin of ...
One-of-a-kind experiment tracked plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...
Long-term experimental evolution in brewer’s yeast reveals how the transition to simple multicellularity can drive ecological divergence and maintain diversity. The evolution of multicellularity ...
On the fourth floor of Northwest Labs lives ye olde yeast colony, propagating for over 16 thousand generations. Neither a medieval fungus problem nor an ancient sourdough factory, the yeast has been ...
The Evolution Experiment Still Running After 75,000 Generations Since the late 1980s, a simple flask of bacteria has been quietly recording the story of evolution. Across tens of thousands of ...
Niles Lehman, associate professor of chemistry, Portland State University, Ore., says the early evolution experiments had no amplification methods. But now, Lehman says, "PCR is king. It allows ...
