Here we describe the systematic identification of single genes and gene pairs, whose knockout causes lethality in Escherichia coli K-12. During construction of precise single-gene knockout library of E. coli K-12, we identified 328 essential gene candidates for growth in complex (LB) medium. Upon establishment of the Keio single-gene deletion library, we undertook the development of the ASKA single-gene deletion library carrying a different antibiotic resistance. In addition, we developed tools for identification of synthetic lethal gene combinations by systematic construction of double-gene knockout mutants. We introduce these methods herein.
在此,我们描述了对单个基因和基因对的系统鉴定,其敲除会导致大肠杆菌K-12致死。在构建大肠杆菌K-12精确单基因敲除文库的过程中,我们鉴定出328个在复杂(LB)培养基中生长所必需的候选基因。在建立了Keio单基因缺失文库后,我们着手开发携带不同抗生素抗性的ASKA单基因缺失文库。此外,我们通过系统构建双基因敲除突变体,开发了鉴定合成致死基因组合的工具。我们在此介绍这些方法。
