Phage Display: Simple Evolution in a Petri Dish (Nobel Lecture)
1University of Missouri, Division of Biological Sciences, Tucker Hall, Columbia, MO, 65211-7400, USA.
Abstract:
Playing with evolution: In his Nobel lecture, George P. Smith reconstructs the story of the phage-display idea as he personally experienced it. The development of this technique is a case study in how a scientific advance emerges gradually in incremental steps within overlapping global scientific communities.
