Fig. 3: Frequency and time of appearance of mutations through 1 K generations of laboratory evolution lines of Dv and Mm cocultures.
From: Synergistic epistasis enhances the co-operativity of mutualistic interspecies interactions

The heat maps display frequency of mutations in genes (rows) in Dv (A) and Mm (B) in each evolution line, ordered from early to later generations (horizontal axis). High G-score genes are shown in red font and their G-score rank is shown to the left in gray shaded box, also in red font. Bar plots above heat maps indicate total number of mutations in each generation and the color indicates impact of mutation. Use “Frequency”, “Generations”, and “Mutation impact” key below the heat maps for interpretation. Mutations that were unique to each evolution line is shown in (C, D) for Dv and Mm, respectively. E The heatmap illustrates a selective sweep across both organisms in line HS3.
