Analyzing the Function of Essential Genes by Plasmid Shuffling.

Abstract excerpt

Investigations on gene essentiality have important implications in several fields of basic and applied research. A variety of strategies have been developed over the years to identify essential genes. Here, we describe an implemented plasmid shuffling method useful to assess the essentiality of overlapped genes under very stringent conditions. A host strain harboring the chromosomal deletion of the genes of...
