In this study, we characterized gene essentiality from a new perspective of protein domains, the independent structural or functional units of a polypeptide chain.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: To identify such essential domains, we have developed an Expectation\u2013Maximization (EM) algorithm-based Essential Domain Prediction (EDP) Model. With simulated datasets, the model provided convergent results given different initial values and offered accurate predictions even with noise. We then applied the EDP model to six microbial species and predicted 1879 domains to be essential in at least one species, ranging 10\u201323% in each species. The predicted essential domains were more conserved than either non-essential domains or essential genes. Comparing essential domains in prokaryotes and eukaryotes revealed an evolutionary distance consistent with that inferred from ribosomal RNA. When utilizing these essential domains to reproduce the annotation of essential genes, we received accurate results that suggest protein domains are more basic units for the essentiality of genes. Furthermore, we presented several examples to illustrate how the combination of essential and non-essential domains can lead to genes with divergent essentiality. In summary, we have described the first systematic analysis on gene essentiality on the level of domains.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0huilu.bioinfo@gmail.com or Long.Lu@cchmc.org<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary Information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,25]],"date-time":"2015-05-25T05:48:48Z","timestamp":1432532928000},"page":"2921-2929","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A novel essential domain perspective for exploring gene essentiality"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Yao","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Shanghai Institute of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Children\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 24\/1400 Beijing (W) Road, Shanghai 200040, People\u2019s Republic of China,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yulan","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering Institute of Biostatistics, School of Life Science, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, People\u2019s Republic of China,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingyuan","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Division of Biomedical Informatics, Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hai","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4 Institute for Systems Biology, Jianghan University, Wuhan, Hubei, People\u2019s Republic of China,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Shanghai Institute of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Children\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 24\/1400 Beijing (W) Road, Shanghai 200040, People\u2019s Republic of China,"},{"name":"5 Department of Bioengineering (MC 063), University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607-7052, USA and"},{"name":"6 Collaborative Innovation Center for Biotherapy, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Long Jason","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Division of Biomedical Informatics, Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA,"},{"name":"4 Institute for Systems Biology, Jianghan University, Wuhan, Hubei, People\u2019s Republic of China,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020202240306600_btv312-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"966","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.012602299","article-title":"A genome-scale analysis for identification of genes required for growth or survival of Haemophilus influenzae","volume":"99","author":"Akerley","year":"2002","journal-title":"Proc.
