Time-Resolved Transposon Insertion Sequencing Reveals Genome-Wide Fitness Dynamics during Infection
ABSTRACT Transposon insertion sequencing (TIS) is a powerful high-throughput genetic technique that is transforming functional genomics in prokaryotes, because it enables genome-wide mapping of the determinants of fitness. However, current approaches for analyzing TIS data assume that selective pres...
