In vitro compartmentalization

In vitro compartmentalization (IVC) is an emulsion-based technology that generates cell-like compartments in vitro. These compartments are designed such that each contains no more than one gene. When the gene is transcribed and/or translated, its products become 'trapped' with the encoding gene inside the compartment. By coupling the genotype (DNA) and phenotype, compartmentalization allows the selection and evolution of phenotype.
