Expressing random peptides within cells has been hampered by technical problems, and so a simple method to express random free peptide libraries within mammalian cells comes as a welcome advance. It offers a powerful new way to approach the analysis of complex signal transduction cascades, as is illustrated in dissecting the emergence of tumor cell resistance to the chemotherapeutic drug taxol.
