Engineering reverse transcriptases for modified or unnatural nucleic acids is challenging, but now a versatile method has been developed that enables the discovery of efficient reverse transcriptases. The method works with a wide range of template structures, including xeno-nucleic acids and can also be used to produce high-fidelity reverse transcriptases for RNA.
