Abstract excerpt
Directed evolution can generate proteins with tailor-made activities. However, full-length genotypes, their frequencies and fitnesses are difficult to measure for evolving gene-length biomolecules using most high-throughput DNA sequencing methods, as short read lengths can lose mutation linkages in haplotypes. Here we present Evoracle, a machine learning method that accurately reconstructs full-length genotypes...
