We developed a cost-effective method to follow non-single nucleotide polymorphism allele dynamics that can easily be adapted to experimental evolution frozen archives. A triplet PCR technique was coupled with automated parallel capillary electrophoresis to quantify the relative frequency of an insertion allele over the course of experimental evolution.
