Abstract

Generating genomic diversity Genomic diversity is difficult to generate in the laboratory in an efficient way. A new technique called MAGE (multiplex automated genome engineering), described here, simultaneously targets many locations on the chromosome for modification in a single cell or across a population of cells, thereby producing combinatorial genomic diversity. This is an automated and efficient approach that expedites the design and evolution of organisms with new and improved properties.
