Genome-scale metabolic network validation of Shewanella oneidensis using transposon insertion frequency analysis.

Transposon mutagenesis, in combination with parallel sequencing, is becoming a powerful tool for en-masse mutant analysis. A probability generating function was used to explain observed miniHimar transposon insertion patterns, and gene essentiality calls were made by transposon insertion frequency a...
