UMI-linked consensus sequencing enables phylogenetic analysis of directed evolution

The success of protein evolution is dependent on the sequence context mutations are introduced into. Here the authors present UMIC-seq that allows consensus generation for closely related genes by using unique molecular identifiers linked to gene variants.
