Over the last 36 years, many researchers have contributed to the LTEE by performing the daily transfers of the 12 E. coli populations. Most of us are curious by nature, and many of us (the author of this post included) can be a bit competitive. With >12,000 transfers recorded in 13 lab notebooks, we have… Read More »The LTEE Leaderboard Goes Live| The Long-Term Evolution Experiment
On August 7th, we froze down the 80,000-generation* populations of the LTEE. We’re pretty sure this is both a new Olympic Record and World Record and that these E. coli have reached an all-time high in fitness in their flasks. It’s been a great team effort keeping the experiment running smoothly. There have been no… Read More »80,000 Generations: New Olympic Record| The Long-Term Evolution Experiment
