Exploring the Holobiont concept through a Plant Evolutionary Experiment study

The evolutionary processes underlying interactions between hosts and their associated microbes is a black box on which biologists have long attempted to shed light. A limiting factor has been knowledge of the precise molecular events, which are now increasingly possible to elucidate with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies. The Big Data era have revolutionized evolutionary studies through sequencing of thousands of genomes allowing tracing genomic changes. Coupled to these technologies experimental evolution transformed evolution from a predictive to a functional science by opening a window on evolutionary changes in real-time. The challenge that now awaits evolutionary…
