A research team at the University of Münster has investigated for the first time how the confrontation of bacteria with hosts that have an activated innate immune system affects the evolution of bacterial virulence. #ExperimentalEvolution
Innate immune memory influence...
Two stages of evolution... @grantkinsler @gsherloc @petrovadmitri use #ExperimentalEvolution in yeast to show that while 1st-step mutants appear pleiotropic in nature, 2nd-step mutations show a shift towards modular adaptation #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4glXoXJ

Our colleagues of the #EvolutionaryBiology group at #ETHZurich have just published https://www.myxoee.org/, a website on #myxobacteria #ExperimentalEvolution. Anyone interested in the evolution of sociality, cooperation and predation should have a look!

Looking for a postdoc in experimental evolution? You're very welcome to apply to this position in my group, at University Paris-Saclay.
The goal is to study the evolutionary and plastic response of the transcriptome to stable vs fluctuating environments, in the model fungus Zymoseptoria tritici.

Proud to have contributed to this project, in which we found a drug target in Babesia #parasites using #ExperimentalEvolution. First author @Caroline_Keroack is a rising star. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.13.544849v1
The #LTEE now has a companion! So exciting!!

A new comparative #ExperimentalEvolution paper with @alanmcn1 lab
Diverse #Ecoli strains adapt to gaining an MDR #plasmid by mutations in metabolic genes
Also shows key roles for IS-element insertions, HNS, and altered plasmid conjugation rate enabling genomic assimilation of a new MDR plasmid
The #LTEE has now passed 76,000 generations, with 1,000 now completed in the Barrick lab at UT-Austin.
