Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel drug discovery system for generating molecular diversity. The system provides methods for subjecting the genetic materials from a plurality of species of organisms to homologous or homeologous recombination to create novel genes and metabolic pathways. The recombined genetic materials are cloned to form recombined combinatorial gene expression libraries. Methods for screening such gene expression libraries containing recombined genes and metabolic pathways for novel activities and compounds are also provided.
