E. coli Long-Term Evolution Experiment

The LTEE is an experiment in evolution that’s been running continuously for more than 33 years. It was started with 12 identical bacterial populations in 1988 and as of early 2020, they have reached 73,500 generations (the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 million years in human generational terms).
