The data from these three groups provided a rare opportunity to theoretically study the function, sequence composition, evolution and network topology of human essential genes. Based on the k-interval Z curve, we obtained excellent performance in human essential gene identification. For human essential gene identification, we only used the sequence composition and interval association information in the present study and still obtained an AUC of 0.8854. Considering that this result is better than the results obtained in previous studies using integrated features, the gene essentiality of the human genome can be accurately reflected based on only the sequence information. ./cache/cord-007259-vj9tv3or.txt ./txt/cord-007259-vj9tv3or.txt
