SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Phage and Robotics-Assisted Biomolecular Evolution" (Emma Chory)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nEvolution occurs when selective pressures from the environment shape inherited variation over time. Within the laboratory\, evolution is commonly used to engineer proteins and RNA\, but experimental constraints have limited our ability to reproducibly and reliably explore key factors such as population diversity\, the timing of environmental changes\, and chance. We developed a high-throughput system for the analytical exploration of molecular evolution using phage-based mutagenesis to evolve many distinct classes of biomolecules simultaneously. In this talk\, I will describe the development of our open-source python:robot integration platform which enables us to adjust the stringency of selection in response to real-time evolving activity measurements and to dissect the historical\, environmental\, and random factors governing biomolecular evolution. Finally\, I will talk about our many on-going projects which utilize this system to evolve previously intractable biomolecules using novel small-molecule substrates to target the undruggable proteome.
