Systematic function analysis of Bacillus subtilis genes.
Information on the complete genome sequence needs to be transformed into information related to function. Toward this goal, research consortia in Japan and Europe have been organized so as to acquire a collection of knockout mutants of genes with no established function. The current status of the Japanese project concerning mutant creation and characterization is summarized.
