we make it the sole survival criteria of "genetically enhanced" yeasts that they can inhibit HIV protease or enhance insulin sensitivity. Those yeasts that manage this feat are allowed to pass the genes (and compounds) they used onto the next generation. This second generation then tries new combinations of these genes for the same task. Some gene combinations give even better compounds, and so on...
