Dorottya Kalapis, Károly Kovács, D. Balogh, Elvin Maharramov et autres
Gene loss is common, yet whether it is merely an evolutionary dead-end or can promote future adaptation to new environments remains debated. Here, we systematically tested whether harmful loss of metabolic genes, followed by compensatory evolution, generates preadaptations to alternative nutrients in …
