directed molecular evolution การใช้

• Three companies that specialize in directed molecular evolution _ Maxygen, Diversa and Applied Molecular Evolution _ have gone public in the last year.
• Another technology that has raised some concern is directed molecular evolution, which involves shuffling genes into new combinations in a test tube _ compressing evolution that takes millions of years into a few months.
• Applied Molecular, which is based in San Diego, is one of several companies specializing in directed molecular evolution, which tries to shrink evolution from a natural process taking millions of years to an artificial one taking months.
• The process, known as directed molecular evolution, aims to harness the principle of survival of the fittest _ but at a microscopic level in a test tube rather than in the jungle, and in weeks rather than in millenniums.
• "It is quite possible for an adversary to take advantage of the power of advanced molecular biology techniques such as gene shuffling and directed molecular evolution to modify a conventional pathogen and create a plague that is resistant to all known drugs, " scientists at Ibis Therapeutics in Carlsbad, Calif ., said in proposing work to develop as " universal " drug.
