Identification of essential genes in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> through whole genome sequencing of legacy mutant collections
2021-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> It has been estimated that 15-30% of the ∼20,000 genes in C. elegans are essential, yet many of these genes remain to be identified or characterized. With the goal of identifying unknown essential genes, we performed whole genome sequencing on complementation pairs from legacy collections of maternal-effect lethal and sterile mutants. This approach uncovered maternal genes required for embryoni...
