Abstract excerpt
A high-density transposon mutagenesis strategy was applied to the Haemophilus influenzae genome to identify genes required for growth or viability. This analysis detected putative essential roles for the products of 259 ORFs of unknown function. Comparisons between complete genomes defined a subset of these proteins in H. influenzae having homologs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are absent in Saccharomyces...
