Open to the public. I will be presenting my work on Thursday, May 31 @ Noon @ the BioSciences building room 257 in St Paul,… Read More »

Select and resequence manuscript published

Select and resequence reveals relative fitness of bacteria in symbiotic and free-living environments. Abstract Assays to accurately estimate relative fitness of bacteria growing in multistrain communities can advance our understanding of how selection shapes diversity within a lineage. Here, we present a variant of the “evolve and resequence” approach both to estimate relative fitness and to identify genetic… Read More »
