Experimental Evolution of Aspergillus nidulans
We transferred populations of Aspergillus nidulans weekly, by transferring asexual conidia. We did this for 6 populations of yellow and 6 populations of green spored isolates. All isolates are clonal derived from a single strain, WG547. We sequenced the starting yellow and green colony. We also sequenced, at both transfer 10 and transfer 52, a sporulating and non-sporulating isolate from each of the 12 lines.
