Abstract

The goal of genomics and systems biology is to understand how complex systems of factors assemble into pathways and structures that combine to form living organisms. Great advances in understanding biological processes result from determining the function of individual genes, a process that has classically relied on characterizing single mutations. Advances in DNA sequencing has made available the complete set of genetic instructions for an astonishing and growing number of species. To understand the function of this ever-increasing number of genes, a high-throughput method was developed that in a single experiment can measure the function of genes across the genome of an organism. This occurred approximately 10 years ago, when high-throughput DNA sequencing was combined with advances in transposon-mediated mutagenesis in a method termed transposon insertion sequencing (TIS). In the subsequent years, TIS succeeded in addressing fundamental questions regarding the genes of bacteria, many of which have been shown to play central roles in bacterial infections that result in major human diseases. The field of TIS has matured and resulted in studies of hundreds of species that include significant innovations with a number of transposons. Here, we summarize a number of TIS experiments to provide an understanding of the method and explanation of approaches that are instructive when designing a study. Importantly, we emphasize critical aspects of a TIS experiment and highlight the extension and applicability of TIS into nonbacterial species such as yeast.
