Abstract excerpt
Understanding genotype-phenotype relationships is a central pursuit in biology. Gene knockout generates a complete loss-of-function genotype and is a commonly used approach for probing gene functions. The most severe phenotypic consequence of gene knockout is lethality. Genes with a lethal knockout phenotype are called essential genes. Based on genome-wide knockout analyses in yeasts, up to approximately a...
