Dynamic large-scale chromosomal rearrangements fuel rapid adaptation in yeast populations.

Large-scale genome rearrangements have been observed in cells adapting to various selective conditions during laboratory evolution experiments. However, it remains unclear whether these types of mutations can be stably maintained in populations and how they impact the evolutionary trajectories. Here...
