Computational analysis of genes with lethal knockout phenotype and prediction of essential genes in archaea

ABSTRACTThe 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 p...
