DOI: 10.1038/s41587-019-0393-7
Abstract: Targeted saturation mutagenesis of crop genes could be applied to produce genetic variants with improved agronomic performance. However, tools for directed evolution of plant genes, such as error-prone PCR or DNA shuffling, are limited 1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0261748
Abstract: The frequency of G and C nucleotides in genomes varies from species to species, and sometimes even between different genes in the same genome. The monocot grasses have a bimodal distribution of genic GC content… read more here.
