Paths to adaptation under fluctuating nitrogen starvation: The spectrum of adaptive mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is shaped by transposons and microhomology-mediated recombination

M. Hays, K. Schwartz, D. T. Schmidtke, D. Aggeli, G. Sherlock

This study examines adaptive mutations in yeast under fluctuating nitrogen conditions, finding that transposons and microhomology-mediated recombination contribute significantly to adaptation.

Evolutionary dynamics of de novo mutations and mutant lineages arising in a simple, constant environment

M. Kinnersley, K. Schwartz, J. Boswell, D.-D. Yang, G. Sherlock, F. Rosenzweig

This study tracks de novo mutations in E. coli populations under glucose-limited conditions, revealing clonal interference as the dominant evolutionary mechanism.

Identification and characterization of a phase-variable element that regulates the autotransporter UpaE in uropathogenic Escherichia coli

R. A. WELCH, K. G. Goh, T. S. Atruksang, K. Schwartz, M. A. Schembri, E. J. Battaglioli

The paper identifies and characterizes a third phase-variable invertible element, ipuS, in UPEC that regulates the expression of the autotransporter UpaE, which contributes to biofilm formation and kidney colonization.

The dynamics of adaptive genetic diversity during the early stages of clonal evolution

J. R. Blundell, K. Schwartz, D. Francois, D. S. Fisher, G. J. Sherlock, S. F. Levy

This study investigates genetic diversity dynamics in clonally evolving populations, finding predictable early increases followed by a diversity crash due to highly-fit double mutants.
