Abstract

Protein evolution requires generation and screening of large numbers of variants. To expedite screening, Fabritius et al. built a platform that integrates fluorescence-based image analysis and picking of bacterial colonies. They engineered mCarmine, a far-red-emitting fluorescent protein for tagging and deep tissue imaging.
