Abstract excerpt
The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis causes life-threatening meningitis and sepsis. Here, we construct a complete collection of defined mutants in protein-coding genes of this organism, identifying all genes that are essential under laboratory conditions. The collection, named NeMeSys 2.0, consists of individual mutants in 1584 non-essential genes. We identify 391 essential genes, which are associated with basic...
