Fungal pathogens pose a global threat to human health, with Candida albicans among the leading killers. Systematic analysis of essential genes provides a powerful strategy to discover potential antifungal targets. Here, we build a machine learning model to generate genome-wide gene essentiality predictions for C. albicans and expand the largest functional genomics resource in this pathogen (the GRACE collection) by 866 genes. Using this model and chemogenomic analyses, we define the function of three uncharacterized essential genes with roles in kinetochore function, mitochondrial integrity, and translation, and identify the glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase Gln4 as the target of N-pyrimidinyl-β-thiophenylacrylamide (NP-BTA), an antifungal compound. The analysis of essential genes in pathogens can be used to discover potential antimicrobial targets. Here, the authors use a machine learning model and chemogenomic analyses to generate genome-wide gene essentiality predictions for the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, define the function of three uncharacterized essential genes, and identify the target of a new antifungal compound.
