Additionally, other metal binding site (MBS) mutations delocalised the Fe2+ cofactor, also facilitating lid opening. In the early stages of unbinding, a wider variety of PZA poses were observed, suggesting multiple exit pathways. These findings provide insights into the late events preceding PZA unbinding, which we found to occur in some resistant PZase mutants. Further, the algorithm developed here to identify unbinding events coupled with SGNA can be applicable to other similar problems.Defining genes that are essential for life has major implications for understanding critical biological processes and mechanisms. Although essential genes have been identified and characterised experimentally using functional genomic tools, it is challenging to predict with confidence such genes from molecular and phenomic data sets using computational methods. Using extensive data sets available for the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, we constructed here a machine-learning (ML)-based workflow for the prediction of essential genes on a genome-wide scale. We identified strong predictors for such genes and showed that trained ML models consistently achieve highly-accurate classifications. Complementary analyses revealed an association between essential genes and chromosomal location. Our findings reveal that essential genes in C. elegans tend to be located in or near the centre of autosomal chromosomes; are positively correlated with low single nucleotide polymorphim (SNP) densities and epigenetic markers in promoter regions; are involved in protein and nucleotide processing; are transcribed in most cells; are enriched in reproductive tissues or are targets for small RNAs bound to the argonaut CSR-1. Based on these results, we hypothesise an interplay between epigenetic markers and small RNA pathways in the germlin
