Phenotypic, genetic, and epigenetic data from 29 Serratia marcescens strains from an evolution experiment

This dataset contains phenotypic, genetic, and epigenetic data from 29
Serratia marcescens strains from an evolution experiment. In a previous
study (https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12148), the bacterium S. marcescens was
left to evolve from a common ancestor culture in replicated populations
kept under different temperature regimes, and evolved clones were isolated
and their phenotypes measured. Here, we randomly selected 28 evolved
clones from this experiment, as well as the original reference strain, and
used PacBio single molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing to obtain genetic
and epigenetic (N6-methyladenine modifications, m6A) data. The goal of our
study was to obtain a detailed description of the methylation landscape of
S. marcescens and to examine the potential contributions of genetic and
epigenetic changes to phenotypic adaptation.
