Abstract excerpt
Directed evolution methods face trade-offs between the control of discrete approaches and the throughput of modern continuous systems. Here, we engineered a method called lytic selection and evolution (LySE) for near-continuous evolution of bacterial gene clusters while maintaining discrete checkpoints. We developed a hypermutagenic T7 DNA polymerase variant fused to a dual adenine-cytosine deaminase to install...
