Modelling the directed evolution of bacteriophage lambda
![](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2015/7/70/Birkbeck_directed_evolution.png)
To accomplish the goal of altering the host specificity of bacteriophage lambda, we took a step-by-step directed evolution approach, working according to the 'design - build - model - test - repeat' principle. This started with the design of several mutations both to alter the phage phenotype and to make segments of its genotype BioBrick-compatible. We then proceeded to 'build' individual genes through synthesis and cloning. The next steps are to recombine these genes into a recombinant bacteriophage genome, before carrying out testing and selection, and repeating this process.
The process is as follows:
