His Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) on snowflake yeast has run for more than 9,000 generations, with aims to continue for the next 25 years. The work has shown how key ...

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution in the lab, to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms.After thousands of generations, their ...

The approach is based on a similar experiment, started in 1988 at the University of California, Irvine, called the Long-Term Evolution Experiment. Professor Richard E. Lenski and collaborators ...

Their study is the first major report on the ongoing Multicellularity Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE), which the team hopes to run for decades. “Conceptually, what we want to understand ...

Michigan State University’s renowned Long-Term Evolution Experiment – a remarkable 34-year biological drama in flasks, with bacteria competing for resources and fighting for dominance – is ...

The Multicellular Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) began in 2018 in the lab of William Ratcliff, a Professor at Georgia Tech. The investigators used Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or snowflake yeast ...

coli bacteria samples have been growing and evolving since 1988 as part of the Long-Term Evolution Experiment, which has included over 75,000 generations of E. coli that provide insights into the ...

In the ongoing Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE), laboratory yeast are evolving novel multicellular functions, enabling researchers to investigate how they arise. The study puts ...
