Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for the directed evolution of macromolecules. The methods involve increasing the mutation rate of an evolving organism comprising a gene of interest that encodes a gene product lacking a desired activity, whereby a mutated gene of interest is produced that encodes an evolved gene product comprising the desired activity and causing a suppression of mutagenesis. The systems comprise an evolving organism comprising a gene of interest encoding a gene product to be evolved, a host organism, and optionally, a lagoon, a cellstat and/or a suitable growth medium.
