Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are a wide range of phenotypes that are due to loss-of-function or null mutations. Previously, the functions of gene products that distinguish essential from nonessential genes were characterized. However, the functions of products of non-essential genes that contribute to fitness remain minimally understood. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we investigated several...
