Directed evolution experiments rely on the cyclical application of mutagenesis, screening and amplification in a test tube. They have led to the creation of novel proteins for a wide range of applications. However, directed evolution currently requires an uncertain, typically large, number of labor

## Abstract The paper deals with a model of the genetic process of recombination, one of the basis mechanisms of generating genetic variability. Mathematically, the model can be represented by the soβcalled random evolution of Griego and Hersch, in which a random switching process selects from amon
We study the evolution of recombination using a microscopic model developed within the frame of the theory of quantitative traits. Two components of fitness are considered: a static one that describes adaptation to environmental factors not related to the population itself, and a dynamic one that ac
## Abstract Recombination is often considered a disruptive force for wellβadapted phenotypes, but recent evidence suggests that this cost of recombination can be small. A key benefit of recombination is that it can help create proteins and regulatory circuits with novel and useful phenotypes more e
