Draft:OrthoRep

  • Comment: To identify that a topic is sufficiently notable to need a Wikipedia article, we look for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Chang C. Liu, leader of the group that developed this method, is listed in as an author in all the references currently on this article. They are therefore not independent of the subject. I would like to see what authors outside this group are saying about the method, both to demonstrate that it is notable, and to make sure that we adopt a WP:Neutral point of view.

OrthoRep is a hypermutation system used for the directed evolution of proteins. It was developed by the group of Chang C. Liu at the University of California, Irvine. It is one of the methods used for in vivo continuous evolution, which aims to expand the depth and scale in the evolutionary search for highly efficient proteins compared to conventional directed evolution. The method is based on a natural plasmid system in Kluveromyces lactis, which was ported to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, creating an extrachromosomal orthogonal error-prone replication system in yeast.[1]
