Genome-wide characterization of the relationship between essential and TATA-containing genes

► In yeast, essential genes and TATA genes were nearly independent. ► We identified ET genes from the relationship between essential and TATA genes. ► ET genes tended to have relatively high CAI, Fop, EL, degree, and TFBS. ► The amino acid usage patterns of ET, ENT, NET, and NENT genes were different. ► ENT and NET genes showed shared and opposing characteristics.
