A novel metagenome-derived viral RNA polymerase and its application in a cell-free expression system for metagenome screening

Abstract The mining of genomes from non-cultivated microorganisms using metagenomics is a powerful tool to discover novel proteins and other valuable biomolecules. However, function-based metagenome searches are often limited by the time-consuming expression of the active proteins in various heterol...
