Ab initio genotype-phenotype association reveals intrinsic modularity in genetic networks.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial species express an astonishing diversity of phenotypic traits, behaviors, and metabolic capacities. However, our molecular understanding of these phenotypes is based almost entirely on studies in a handful of model organisms that together represent only a small fraction of this phenotypic diversity. Furthermore, many microbial species are not amenable to traditional laboratory analysis because of their...
