title: Deep Mutational Scanning: A Highly Parallel Method to Measure the Effects of Mutation on Protein Function.
abstract: Deep mutational scanning is a method that makes use of next-generation sequencing technology to measure in a single experiment the activity of 10(5) or more unique variants of a protein. Because of this depth of mutational coverage, this strategy provides data that can be analyzed to reveal many protein properties. Deep mutational scanning approaches are particularly amenable to being performed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, given the extensive toolkit of reagents and technologies available for this organism.
