Abstract excerpt
Defined mutant libraries allow for efficient genome-scale screening and provide a convenient collection of mutations in almost any nonessential gene of interest. Here, we present a near-saturating transposon insertion library in Vibrio cholerae strain C6706, a clinical isolate belonging to the O1 El Tor biotype responsible for the current cholera pandemic. Automated sequencing analysis of 23,312 mutants allowed...
