Characterization of hypothetical proteins reveals function modules and virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Hypothetical proteins (HPs), known as biological dark matter, are genetic sequences of which the biological functions and regulatory processes remain largely unclear. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, HPs account for 36.4% of all coding genes, representing a significant gap in understanding their functions and contribution to...
