breseq was initially developed at Michigan State University while Jeff was a postdoc with Richard Lenski and Charles Ofria, and while Dave was a graduate student in the lab of Philip McKinley.
It is now developed in the Barrick lab in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Lab Website
