Uncovering the essential genes of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum by saturation mutagenesis. Science. 2018 May 4;360(6388).  PMID: 29724925.
Mutagenesis index scores (MISs) and mutagenesis fitness scores (MFSs). Both the IS and MFS were predictive of the fitness cost for in vitro asexual growth. MIS is assigned on a scale of 0 to 1, with closer to 0 indicating a high probability of essentialit
