چکیده
Laboratory evolutionists continue to generate better enzymes for industrial and research applications. Exciting developments include new biocatalysts for enantioselective carbon–carbon bond formation and fatty acid production in plants. Creative contributions to the repertoire of evolutionary methods will ensure further growth in applications and expand the scope and complexity of biological design problems that can be addressed. Researchers are also starting to elucidate mechanisms of enzyme adaptation and natural evolution by testing evolutionary scenarios in the laboratory.

متن کاملDevelopments in directed evolution for improving enzyme functions.
The engineering of enzymes with altered activity, specificity, and stability, using directed evolution techniques that mimic evolution on a laboratory timescale, is now well established. In vitro recombination techniques such as DNA shuffling, staggered extension process (StEP), random chimeragenesis on transient templates (RACHITT), iterative truncation for the creation of hybrid enzymes (ITCH...

1. Introduction Variation coupled to selection is the hallmark of natural evolution. Although there is no full agreement concerning the best way to create variation , mutation or recombination (1), computational simulation studies have demonstrated the importance of homologous recombination in the evolution of biological systems (2,3). As compared to random mutagenesis, recombi-nation may be ad...
متن کاملUSER friendly DNA recombination (USERec): a simple and flexible near homology-independent method for gene library construction.
USER friendly DNA recombination (USERec) is introduced as a near homology-independent method that allows the simultaneous recombination of an unprecedented number of 10 DNA fragments (approximately 40-400 bp) within a day. The large number of fragments and their ease of preparation enables the creation of libraries of much larger genetic diversity (potentially approximately 10(10)-10(11) sequen...
متن کاملEfficient chromosomal gene modification with CRISPR/cas9 and PCR-based homologous recombination donors in cultured Drosophila cells
The ability to edit the genome is essential for many state-of-the-art experimental paradigms. Since DNA breaks stimulate repair, they can be exploited to target site-specific integration. The clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/cas9 system from Streptococcus pyogenes has been harnessed into an efficient and programmable nuclease for eukaryotic cells. We thus com...
