DNA Sequence Data from ‘Gene amplification as form of population-level gene expression regulation’ The files are: 1. Illumina whole genome sequences of Escherichia coli strain MG1655, from experimental evolution in galactose and 2-DOG (in the fastq format). 2. Annotated DNA sequence containing the chromosomal reporter gene cassette of Escherichia coli strain MG1655 for evolution experiments (in the genbank format).
