Go To Slide: Experimental evolution with bacteria and digital organisms Outline of talk Experimental evolution with bacteria and digital organisms Outline of talk William Paley, Natural Theology (1802) Paley, continued Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species (1859) Darwin, continued Some approaches to studying evolution Question: How repeatable is evolution? A billion mutations in each evolving population Fitness trajectories Cell size trajectories Ecological specialization and catabolic breadth Changes in gene expression using microarrays Sequencing randomly chosen genes Paley (1802) They have genomes, metabolisms, and neighbors And they evolve from a common ancestor into many species (kinds) Replaying life s tape Some readings for those interested
