Sexual recombination and increased mutation rate expedite evolution of Escherichia coli in varied fitness landscapes
Sexual recombination and mutation rate may play different roles in adaptive evolution depending on the fitness landscape. Here, Peabody et al. examine how the two factors affect the rate of adaptation of an E. coli strain capable of sexual recombination, under different conditions during experimenta...
