Essential genes are absolutely required for the survival of an organism. The identification of essential genes, besides being one of the most fundamental questions in biology, is also of interest for the emerging science of synthetic biology and for the development of novel antimicrobials. New antimicrobial therapies are desperately needed to treat multidrug-resistant pathogens, such as members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SEVICE. Documented on August 19,2019.It hosts records of currently available essential genes among a wide range of organisms. For prokaryotes, DEG contains essential genes in more than 10 bacteria, such as E. coli, B. subtilis, H. pylori, S. pneumoniae, M. genitalium and H. influenzae, whereas for eukaryotes, DEG contains those in yeast, humans, mice, worms, fruit flies, zebra fish and the plant A. thaliana. Users can Blast query sequences against DEG, and can also search for essential genes by their functions and names. Essential gene products comprise excellent targets for antibacterial drugs. Essential genes in a bacterium constitute a minimal genome, forming a set of functional modules, which play key roles in the emerging field, synthetic biology.
View all literature mentionsNon profit, private research and education institution that performs molecular and genetic research used to generate methods for better diagnostics and treatments for cancer and neurological diseases. Research of cancer causing genes and their respective signaling pathways, mutations and structural variations of the human genome that could cause neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative illnesses such as autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and also research in plant genetics and quantitative biology.
View all literature mentionsDatabase of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)
