Abstract excerpt
The Keio library of single-gene knock-out mutants of Escherichia coli is useful for the research community. It has been used to analyze the role of various E. coli genes in alcohol tolerance, multi-drug resistance, and biofilm formation. The current study provides a general overview of potential single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertion-deletion of bases (≤50 nucleotides, INDELs) in the genome of a set of...
