Complex interplay between gene deletions and the environment uncovers cellular roles for genes of unknown function in Escherichia coli

Kaat Sondervorst, Kristina Nešporová, Matthew Herdman…·Sander K. Govers

The paper uses cross-condition image-based profiling of E. coli deletion strains to identify five genes of unknown function and characterize their cellular roles through phylogenetic, structural, and localization analysis.
