Abstract:Directed evolution is a powerful approach for protein engineering and functional studies. However, directed evolution outputs from bacterial and yeast systems do not always translate to higher organisms. In situ directed evolution in plant and animal cells has previously been limited by an inability to introduce targeted DNA sequence diversity. New hypermutation tools have emerged that can generate targeted mutations in plant and animal cells, by recruiting mutagenic proteins to defined DNA loci. Progress in t… Show more
