Abstract

Adaptation, Physiological - genetics Genetic Fitness Saccharomyces cerevisiae - genetics Saccharomyces cerevisiae - growth & development Saccharomyces cerevisiae - physiology Selection, Genetic Mutation Phenotype
How predictable are the collateral effects of adaptation? A new study of evolved yeast strains published in PLOS Biology suggests that growth across environments is fairly predictable because the selected mutations only affected a few latent fitness-impacting phenotypes.
