In vivo continuous evolution of genes and pathways in yeast

Directed evolution is a powerful technique for generating improved biological systems through repeated rounds of mutagenesis and selection. Here the authors engineer the yeast retrotransposon Ty1 to enable the creation of large mutant libraries in vivoand use this system to generate improved variant...
