To survive in the cold: the evolution of reduced decay rate in a bacteriophage
Abstract
Data files and R code for manuscript entitled "To survive in the cold: the evolution of decay rate in a bacteriophage"Authors: Xiao-Lin Chu, Quan-Guo Zhang and Angus BucklingData files and R code for manuscript entitled "To survive in the cold: the evolution of decay rate in a bacteriophage" Authors: Xiao-Lin Chu; Quan-Guo Zhang; Angus Buckling Data files1. Fitness.csv gives the growth rates (growth_rate) and decay rates (decay_rate) of each evolution line, where P10 and P28 is the phage populations evolved at 10 and 28℃, respectively. The column 'replicate' shows the replication id of each evolution line; 'measurement' gives the three replicate measures for the growth traits of each evolution line from full plate plaque assays; 'temp_evo' shows the evolution temperature; 'temp_assay' shows the assay temperature. 2. density_phage.csv gives the density dynamic of the ancestral phage when assayed at 10 and 28℃, respectively. The column 'transfer' shows the transfer number; 'replicate' shows the replication id of each evolution line and 'density_phage' shows the phage density from spot tests. 3. density_anc.txt gives the density dynamic of the ancestral phage when assayed at 10 and 28℃, respectively. The column 'temp' shows the assay temperature; 'time' shows the time measured in hours; 'replicate' shows the replication id of each evolution line. All the analysis results are generated using code.R
