Project description:Transcriptional profiling of a unicelluar diazotrophic cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 in constant light under nitrogen fixing condition. The controls comprised of equimolar pool of RNA from all time points.
Project description:Here, we report the transcriptome of Anabaena sp. strain 7120, a cyanobacterium that forms specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that cyanobacteria frequently have more complex transcripts than thought, with large 5' UTRs, numerous antisense transcripts, and multiple transcriptional start sites or processing sites.
