Abstract excerpt
Despite the power of sequencing and of emerging high-throughput technologies to collect data rapidly, the definitive functional characterization of unknown genes still requires biochemical and genetic analysis in case-by-case studies. This often involves the deletion of target genes and phenotypic characterization of the deletants. We describe here modifications of an existing deletion method which facilitates...
