Welcome to the E. coli Long-term Experimental Evolution Project Site
This site is intended to serve two main functions:
-
To share information
among the group of researchers who are studying the long-term
experimental populations of E. coli, and the various other
lines derived from them.
-
To provide an archive
for information obtained from this work, including key published
and some unpublished data.
This site has the following components:
-
Strain catalogs
for the long-term experiment and other experiments derived
from it.
-
Summary data
from the long-term evolution experiment including relative
fitness, cell size, colony morphology (photographic), and
molecular genetics.
-
Standard protocols as well as
media recipes and molecular tools.
-
Publication list
including links to published abstracts (and some pdf files).
