Abstract


Identification of adaptive targets in experimental evolution typically relies on extensive replication and genetic reconstruction. An alternative approach is to directly assay all mutations in an evolved clone by generating pools of segregants that contain random combinations of evolved mutations. Here, we apply this method to 6 Saccharomyces cerevisiae clones isolated from 4 diploid populations that were clonally evolved for 2,000 generations in rich glucose medium. Each clone contains 17-26 mutations relative to the ancestor. We derived intermediate genotypes between the founder and the evolved clones by bulk mating sporulated cultures of the evolved clones to a barcoded haploid version of the ancestor. We competed the resulting barcoded diploids en masse and quantified fitness in the experimental and alternative environments by barcode sequencing. We estimated average fitness effects of evolved mutations using barcode-based fitness assays and whole-genome sequencing for a subset of segregants. In contrast to our previous work with haploid evolved clones, we find that diploids carry fewer beneficial mutations, with modest fitness effects (up to 5.4%) in the environment in which they arose. In agreement with theoretical expectations, reconstruction experiments show that all mutations with a detectable fitness effect manifest some degree of dominance over the ancestral allele, and most are overdominant. Genotypes with lower fitness effects in alternative environments allowed us to identify conditions that drive adaptation in our system.
