An interplay of resource availability, population size and mutation rate potentiates the evolution of metabolic signaling
Abstract Background Asexually reproducing populations of single cells evolve through mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. Environmental conditions in which the evolution takes place define the emergent fitness landscapes. In this work, we used Avida—a digital evolution framework—to uncove...
