Playing evolution in the laboratory: From the first major evolutionary transition to global warming

Experimental evolution allows testing hypothesis derived from theory or from observed patterns in nature. We have designed a droplet-based microfluidic ‘evolution machine’ to test how transient compartmentalization (‘trait-groups’) of independent molecular replicators (likely a critical step in the...
