Abstract

BACKGROUND: Essential genes encode functions that play a vital role in the life activities of organisms, encompassing growth, development, immune system functioning, and cell structure maintenance. Conventional experimental techniques for identifying essential genes are resource-intensive and time-consuming, and the accuracy of current machine learning models needs further enhancement. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a robust computational model to accurately predict essential genes.
