title: Evolution of synthetic polymers.
abstract: A strategy for the enrichment of a DNA template that encodes a functionalized PNA oligomer is discussed. The method relies on iterated cycles of chemical translation (of the template into PNA), selection (for function), and amplification (of the survivors). Potential restrictions and future perspectives are considered.
