Recent developments in DNA synthesis and sequencing have allowed the construction of comprehensive gene variant libraries and their functional analysis. Achieving high-replication and thorough mutation characterization remains technically and financially challenging for long genes. Here, we developed an efficient, affordable and scalable library construction approach that relies on low-cost DNA synthesis and standard cloning technologies, which will increase accessibility to systematic mutational studies and help advance the field of protein science.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
