ePath Essential Gene Prediction and DatabaseDr. Xu's lab

Welcome to the VCU ePath search Site !

ePath (essential genes in Pathway) database provides information for essential gene prediction in bacteria

  • The database contains > 4000 strains of prokaryotic genomes (as of 10/09/2017).
  • The database is currently designed for genes with KEGG Ortholog numbers (KO#) only .
  • The database is currently designed for prokaryotes with completely sequenced genomes only.
  • Citation for our publication on essential gene identification (Xu et al., 2011)
