Genome-scale analysis of library sorting (GALibSo): Isolation of secretion enhancing factors for recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris.

A method combining fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and DNA microarray assisted clone identification was developed and termed Genome-Scale Analysis of Library Sorting (GALibSo). Genes enhancing the production of secreted heterologous proteins in Pichia pastoris were identified out of a cDNA library by cell surface display and FACS. The trends of gene enrichment during consecutive FACS rounds were monitored by DNA microarrays.
