Directed evolution is a powerful methodology for creating biomolecules with new and improved properties. In a typical directed evolution experiment, a library of genetic variants is generated through ...

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

Biological technologies are fundamentally unlike any other because biology evolves. Bioengineering therefore requires novel design methodologies with evolution at their core. Knowledge about evolution ...

Five proteins share important roles in the formation and function of synapses and can substitute for each other. This discovery was made by a team of the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The creation of genes with new functions is a major driver of developmental innovation in all living organisms. How these genes acquire new functions over evolutionary time ...

Scientists have developed a novel protein evolution approach dubbed optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic, multi-state, and computational functions based on ...
