Genome-wide transcription start site profiling in biofilm-grown Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium intrinsically resistant to most antibiotics and biocides. The aim of this study is to map transcription start sites and 5'UTRs, and to discover novel non-coding small RNAs expressed in biofilms. The experimental approach used for this study is differential sequencing, where RNA samples are split into two aliquots, one of which is then treated with a 5' monophosphate-dependent exonuclease. Two separate libraries are created from exonuclease-treated and -untreated sub-samples, using illumina sequencing from the 5'end, without fractionation step and without depletion of abundant rRNAs. Transcription start sites can then be identified by comparing exonuclease-treated with untreated RNA-seq libraries.
