Abstract excerpt
Bacterial species often consist of strains with variable gene content, collectively referred to as the pangenome. Variations in the genetic makeup of strains can alter bacterial physiology and fitness. To define biologically relevant genes of a genome, genome-wide transposon mutant libraries have been used to identify genes essential for survival or virulence in a given strain. Such phenotypic studies have been...
