Many of these publications don’t come up from a Pubmed search or citation search, so it should be useful to bring them all together and hyperlinked. Patents are omitted if there is a journal paper covering very similar work. Ones with particular relevance to IMMUNOLOGY, MATERIALS (polymers or mechanobiology), IMAGING or ENZYMES are marked. SpyBank  is a database of >500 Tag/Catcher aa sequences to download (Excel file), from publications below. SpyBank includes expression organism, Tag/Catcher location (N-terminal, internal, C-terminal) and annotated linkers, as a reference for groups creating their own fusions.
