    摘要: Provided is a method of screening or enriching a sample containing polynucleotides from a mixed population of organisms. The method includes creating a DNA library from a plurality of nucleic acid sequences of a mixed population of organisms and separating clones containing a polynucleotide sequence of interest on a fluorescence analyzer based upon hybridization of a fluorescence labeled oligonucleotide probe to a target sequence in a clone. The separated or enrich library can then be further process by activity based screening or sequence based screening. In addition, the enriched sequence can be compared to a database and to identify sequences in the database which have homology to a clone in the library thereby obtaining a nucleic acid profile of the mixed population of organisms.

    摘要: Disclosed is a process for obtaining an enzyme having a specified enzyme activity derived from a heterogeneous DNA population by screening, for the specified enzyme activity, a library of clones containing DNA from the heterogeneous DNA population which have been exposed to directed mutagenesis towards production of the specified enzyme activity. Also disclosed is a process for obtaining an enzyme having a specified enzyme activity by screening, for the specified enzyme activity, a library of clones containing DNA from a pool of DNA populations which have been exposed to directed mutagenesis in an attempt to produce in the library of clones DNA encoding an enzyme having one or more desired characteristics which can be the same or different from the specified enzyme activity.

    摘要: A process for constructing a catalogued nucleic acid library in which the proportional representation of the constituents is adjusted to advantage through the use of disclosed technologies for positive and negative selection. The resultant benefit is that significantly fewer library constituents will need to be screened in order to identify a potentially desired constituent. Moreover, library constituents that previously would have been essentially “lost” are now recoverable. Preferred embodiments of this invention include the cataloguing, normalization, and enrichment of library constituents. By way of example, but not limitation, this technology is serviceable for constructing a library that contains an adequate representation of desirable constituents that (1) are initially found in low-copy numbers within a sample source or (2) originate from an organism that is problematic to culture. Applicable uses of this invention include any library-screening endeavor previously hindered by logistical impediments. By expanding previous logistical frontiers this invention allows for a novel generation of previously unattainable molecules—particularly molecules that are “unclonable” from conventional, unadjusted libraries—to now be detected, cloned, manipulated, expressed, studied, and used. By disclosing the construction and screening of high yielding nucleic acid libraries from mixed and uncultivated organisms, the instant technology eclipses former boundaries in the area of biological discovery and enables the full breadth of biological diversity to be accessed in the search for previously undiscovered genes and gene products. The benefits of the present invention are seen to extend to areas of diagnosis, medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and academia.

    摘要: Disclosed is a process of performing “sexual” PCR which includes generating random polynucleotides by interrupting or blocking a synthesis or amplification process to show or halt synthesis or amplification of at least one polynucleotide, optionally amplifying the polynucleotides, and reannealing the polynucleotides to produce random mutant polynucleotides. Also provided are vector and expression vehicles including such mutant polynucleotides, polypeptides expressed by the mutant polynucleotides and a method for producing random mutant polypeptides.
