Biological fitness landscapes by deep mutational scanning.

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations is critical to the understanding of protein evolution. Here, we describe methods for large-scale, systematic measurements of the DFE using growth competition and deep mutational scanning. We discuss techniques for producing comprehensive libraries of gene variants as well as provide necessary considerations for designing these experiments. Using...
