Experimental evolution and genome sequencing reveal variation in levels of clonal interference in large populations of bacteriophage φX174
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In large asexual populations where beneficial mutations may co-occur and recombination is absent, the fate of beneficial mutations can be significantly affected by competition (i.e., clonal interference). Theoretical models predict t...
