DNA shuffling and molecular evolution |
|
|
Abstract DNA shuffling is a practical molecular breeding process for the rapid evolution of genes by in vitro recombination. It has extended its researches and applications to a wide areas, including the improvement of the structure and function of proteins, specificity and activity of enzymes, small molecular biochemical pharmaceuticals and drug metabolic enzymes, gene therapy vehicles and transgenes, laboratory animal models and so on. In addition, DNA shuffling is also used as an effective theoretical researching tool in molecular evolution. Here we gave reviews in molecular evolution, especially the technology of DNA shuffling and its main applications and development.
