Selection affects genes involved in replication during long-term evolution in experimental populations of the bacteriophage φX174.
Observing organisms that evolve in response to strong selection over very short time scales allows the determination of the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation. Although dissecting these molecular mechanisms is expensive and time-consuming, general patterns can be detected from repeated exper...
