Abstract excerpt
Advances in DNA sequencing and synthesis technologies concurrent with the development of new recombinant DNA approaches have enabled the extension of directed evolution algorithms to the genome-scale. It is now possible to simultaneously map the effect of mutation(s) in each and every gene in the genome onto almost any screenable or selectable phenotype in less than a week. Such maps can be used to direct the...
