Accessing unexplored regions of sequence space in directed enzyme evolution via insertion/deletion mutagenesis

Insertions/Deletions (InDels) remain an untapped source of protein diversity in laboratory evolution. The method TRIAD generates libraries of random variants with short in-frame InDels using transposons, allowing a comparison of their evolutionary potential with widely-used point mutant libraries.
