Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a novel drug discovery system for generating and screening molecular diversity. The system provides methods for mixing and cloning genetic materials from a plurality of species of organisms in combinatorial gene expression libraries to generate novel metabolic pathways and classes of compounds. The system also provides mobilizable combinatorial gene expression libraries that can be transferred from one species of host organism to another for expression. Also provided are specialized cloning vectors for making mobilizable gene expression libraries. The system also involves methods for pre-screening or identifying for host organisms containing a library that are capable of generating such novel pathways and compounds.
