Cluster learning-assisted directed evolution.

ABSTRACT: Directed evolution, a strategy for protein engineering, optimizes protein properties (i.e., fitness) by expensive and time-consuming screening or selection of large mutational sequence space. Machine learning-assisted directed evolution (MLDE), which screens sequence properties in silico, can accelerate the optimization and reduce the experimental burden. This work introduces a MLDE framework, cluster learning-assisted directed evolution (CLADE), that combines hierarchical unsupervised clustering sampling and supervised learning to guide protein engineering. The clustering sampling selectively picks and screens variants in targeted subspaces, which guides the subsequent generation of diverse training sets. In the last stage, accurate predictions via supervised learning models improv
