Essential genes

Introduction and caveats

This page displays a list of E. coli genes that may be essential. The list is generated by removing all genes where Keio deletions have been isolated, and all ins genes that are from insertion elements. Genes can be removed from the list by editing the list of gene pages in the wikitext of this page

<essentialGenes>
nonessential gene 1:Gene
nonessential gene 2:Gene
etc.
</essentialGenes>

tRNA genes that can be mutated to nonsense suppressors are marked as nonessential. Note that in many cases these are redundant and not all copies of a tRNA isoacceptor can be simultaneously deleted.
