Abstract

PCR-based signature tagged mutagenesis is an "en masse" screening technique based upon unique oligonucleotide tags (molecular barcodes) for identification of genes that will diminish or enhance maintenance of an organism in a specific ecological niche or environment. PCR-based STM applied to Pseudomonas aeruginosa permitted the identification of genes essential for in vivo maintenance by transposon insertion and negative selection in a mixed population of bacterial mutants. The innovative adaptations and refinement of the technology presented here with P. aeruginosa STM mutants selected in the rat model of chronic lung infection have given critical information about genes essential for causing a chronic infection and a wealth of information about biological processes in vivo. The additional use of competitive index analysis for measurement of the level of virulence in vivo, microarray-based screening of selected prioritized STM mutants coupled to metabolomics analysis can now be attempted systematically on a genomic scale. PCR-based STM and combined whole-genome methods can also be applied to any organism having selectable phenotypes for screening.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 February 2015.
All research outputs
#20,254,575
of 22,783,848 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#9,885
of 13,094 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#295,685
of 352,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#635
of 996 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,783,848 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,094 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,967 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 996 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
