What I was wondering was did the code for the propensity of multi-cellularity exist before or after the experiment started. Was there two traits or three traits that existed before the experiment started or did the mutations occur afterwards. That is why I said maybe it would had been better if they studied the genomes at each stage of the experiment to see what changes occurred. And even studied the singular cells a couple of generations down. My thought was there could point to a single cell 60 generations down and say hey look at this strain it mutated but that didn't cause multi-cellularity but look over here at this mutation (that differs from the ancestor cell) when this sequence started to appear that is when we first saw clumping etc. That's all. I guess I wanted more info than I saw in the article. The biggest concern it seem was that it appeared different but it didn't mention anything about the inner working of the DNA sequence.
