Phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE) uses a modified filamentous bacteriophage life cycle to substantially accelerate laboratory evolution experiments. In this work, we expand the scope and capabilities of the PACE method with two key advances that enable the evolution of biomolecules with radically altered or highly specific new activities. First, we implemented small molecule-controlled modulation of selection stringency that enables otherwise inaccessible activities to be evolved direct ...[more]
