Abstract

Disclosed are methods and compositions for creating a DNA, RNA or protein molecule with two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide domains, respectively, joined by a linker region. These methods are used to generate random linker libraries of nucleic acids that encode dual-domain or multi-domain polypeptides. The linker regions are characterized by both length and sequence variability.
