Abstract
Methods of modulating, tuning and improving hybridization properties and recombination properties of molecules for use in nucleic acid shuffling procedures, relates recombination mixtures and methods of modulating, tuning, improving and evolving splicing of RNAs and proteins are provided.
Claims9
A method of recombining a plurality of sequence domains from a plurality of homologous or non-homologous parental nucleic acids, the method comprising:
- recursively recombining the plurality of homologous or non-homologous parental nucleic acids, thereby providing a plurality of artificially recombined nucleic acids;
- transcribing the plurality of artificially recombined nucleic acids, thereby providing pre-mRNAs each comprising a plurality of sequence domains which correspond to a plurality of different parental nucleic acid sequences;
- and,
- alternatively splicing the pre-mRNAs to produce from each of the pre-mRNAs a plurality of different mRNAs comprising a plurality of different sets of sequence domains.
