A Novel Method of Inducible Directed Evolution to Evolve Complex Phenotypes

BIO-PROTOCOL, 12(20).

By: I. Al'Abri n, Z. Li n, D. Haller n & N. Crook n 

author keywords: Directed Evolution; Inducible Systems; Complex Phenotypes; Pathways; Gene Clusters; P1 Phage; Mutagenesis
TL;DR: A new directed evolution method (Inducible Directed Evolution, IDE) is developed that combines the specificity and throughput of recent continuous directed evolution methods with the ease of ALE, which enables long DNA sequences to be mutated in a high throughput manner via a simple series of incubation steps.
