#Phages are key drivers of #MicrobialEvolution, but many #phage genes are poorly understood. @denish_piya @AdamArkinLab @vivek_mutalik &co use arrayed genome-wide #CRISPRi to map gene the essentiality landscape in the iconic coliphages λ & P1. #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3uLtzgU
Systematic and scalable genome-wide essentiality mapping to identify nonessential genes in phages
In this work, authors use an arrayed genome-wide CRISPR interference assay to map gene essentiality landscape in the canonical coliphages λ and P1.plos.io
