Allele frequencies were determined from fluorescent signal intensities of Sanger sequencing data, that is, the ratio of a signal intensity of a mutant SNP and total signal. Sequences were aligned by DNA Baser (www.dnabaser.com/). Although this is not an accurate way to determine allele frequencies, the analysis was used to determine whether an evolved population is genetically homogeneous or heterogeneous.
