In vivo continuous directed evolution.

چکیده
The development and application of methods for the laboratory evolution of biomolecules has rapidly progressed over the last few decades. Advancements in continuous microbe culturing and selection design have facilitated the development of new technologies that enable the continuous directed evolution of proteins and nucleic acids. These technologies have the potential to support the extremely rapid evolution of biomolecules with tailor-made functional properties. Continuous evolution methods must support all of the key steps of laboratory evolution - translation of genes into gene products, selection or screening, replication of genes encoding the most fit gene products, and mutation of surviving genes - in a self-sustaining manner that requires little or no researcher intervention. Continuous laboratory evolution has been historically used to study problems including antibiotic resistance, organismal adaptation, phylogenetic reconstruction, and host-pathogen interactions, with more recent applications focusing on the rapid generation of proteins and nucleic acids with useful, tailor-made properties. The advent of increasingly general methods for continuous directed evolution should enable researchers to address increasingly complex questions and to access biomolecules with more novel or even unprecedented properties.

In vivo continuous evolution of genes and pathways in yeast
Directed evolution remains a powerful, highly generalizable approach for improving the performance of biological systems. However, implementations in eukaryotes rely either on in vitro diversity generation or limited mutational capacities. Here we synthetically optimize the retrotransposon Ty1 to enable in vivo generation of mutant libraries up to 1.6 × 107 l-1 per round, which is the highest o...
متن کاملMeet-continuity on $L$-directed Complete Posets
In this paper, the definition of meet-continuity on $L$-directedcomplete posets (for short, $L$-dcpos) is introduced. As ageneralization of meet-continuity on crisp dcpos, meet-continuity on$L$-dcpos, based on the generalized Scott topology, ischaracterized. In particular, it is shown that every continuous$L$-dcpo is meet-continuous and $L$-continuous retracts ofmeet-continuous $L$-dcpos are al...

Continuous dependence on coefficients for stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Levy Noise and monotone nonlinearity
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative L'evy noise are considered. The drift term is assumed to be monotone nonlinear and with linear growth. Unlike other similar works, we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. We establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients. As corollaries of ...
متن کاملCOVID-19 Tragic Pandemic: Concerns over Unintentional “Directed Accelerated Evolution” of Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and Introducing a Modified Treatment Method for ARDS
Global health authorities are trying to work out the current status of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and explore methods to reduce the rate of its transmission to healthy individuals. In this viewpoint we provide insights concerning how health care professionals can unintentionally shift the novel coronavirus type to more drug-resistant forms. It is worth noting that viruses usually...
