MolecularBreeding™, also known as gene shuffling, is an iterative process of recombination and selection. The products of these recombined genes (proteins) are then screened for the targeted drug properties. This novel platform allows scientists to exploit gene variation that can result in unique drug targets or novel therapeutic protein candidates.
