Abstract excerpt
The development of random transposon mutagenesis in L. interrogans has enabled the creation of large libraries of mutants, facilitating the identification of genes involved in key phenotypes such as virulence. However, phenotypic screening of individual mutants from these libraries remains time-consuming and labor-intensive. Here, we describe a transposon-sequencing protocol (Tn-Seq) that combines random...
