Molecular specificity, convergence and constraint shape adaptive evolution in nutrient-poor environments.

One of the central goals of evolutionary biology is to explain and predict the molecular basis of adaptive evolution. We studied the evolution of genetic networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) populations propagated for more than 200 generations in different nitrogen-limiting condition...
