Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes.
Project description:Hydroxyurea (HU) is thought to primarily target ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), therefore inhibiting the conversion of rNTPs into dNTPs and slowing DNA replication. To understand how Bacillus subtilis responds to HU stress, we performed RNA-seq and Tn-seq.

To understand how Bacillus subtilis responds to HU stress, we performed RNA-seq and Tn-seq. We obtained genes with fitness defects following hydroxyurea treatment over 3 growth periods.
