Relative fitness
- Relative fitness data through generation 10,000
- Relative fitness data for population Ara-1 through generation 2,000
Cell size
- Cell size data through generation 10,000
Colony morphology (photographs)
Molecular genetics
- Genome sequences of ancestral and evolved strains.
- Changes in gene-expression profiles of Ara-1 and Ara+1 obtained using whole-genome arrays at generation 20,000
