Abstract excerpt
The identification of microbial genes essential for survival as those with lethal knockout phenotype (LKP) is a common strategy for functional interrogation of genomes. However, interpretation of the LKP is complicated because a substantial fraction of the genes with this phenotype remains poorly functionally characterized. Furthermore, many genes can exhibit LKP not because their products perform essential...
