A comparative analysis of sequence composition in different lots of a phage display peptide library during amplification by Anders Wilgaard Sinkjaer, Ane Beth Sloth, Amanda Oester Andersen, Malte Jensen, Babak Bakhshinejad, Andreas Kjaer

“…We also found potential propagation-related target-unrelated peptides (TUPs) with the highest EFs in the two lots, which were displayed by the fastest-propagating phage clones. Furthermore, motif analysis of the most enriched subpopulation of amplified libraries led to the identification of some motifs hypothesized to contribute to the increased amplification rates of the respective phage clones. …”

Evolution of uncontrolled proliferation and the angiogenic switch in cancer by John D. Nagy, Dieter Armbruster

“…Here we show that cell- or clone-level selection is sufficient to explain the angiogenic switch, but not because of direct selection on angiogenesis factor secretion---angiogenic potential evolves only as a pleiotropic afterthought. …”
