Elaboration of hypothetical evolutionary scenarios with comparative genomics
Changes in lifestyle
Changes in environmental conditions? Changes in population structure?
Changes in mutation rates?

In vitro
Weaknesses Long-term experiments Difficulty to interpret the events Difficulty to reproduce any real environmental conditions and their variations
