Fig. 1. Mutation-rate evolution experiment.

Fig. 1

(1) Experimental evolution was run with two starting genetic backgrounds and five transfer schemes with various dilution factors and transfer periods (L1, L10, L100, M1, and S1) for 1000 days. (2) After experimental evolution, 44 clones were isolated from evolved populations. Specifically, we used two independent clones isolated from each of two populations for each combination of genetic background and transfer scheme, except four independent populations for WT, L10 combination. A/B denote evolved populations with MMR- background; C, D, E, and F denote evolved populations with WT background. (3) Each isolated clone was subject to a MA/WGS experiment to estimate its rate and molecular spectrum of mutations.
