A general strategy for expanding polymerase function by droplet microfluidics

Droplet-based optical polymerase sorting employs a fluorescent sensor to monitor polymerase activity inside the microenvironment of uniform water-in-oil emulsions. Here, the authors use this technique to select and isolate single cells for evolution of an unnatural nucleic acid polymerase.
