The human intestinal microbiome is a microbial ecosystem that expresses as many as 100
times more genes than the human host, thereby constituting an important component of the …

SUMMARY A substantial amount of antisense transcription is a hallmark of gene expression
in eukaryotes. However, antisense transcription was first demonstrated in bacteria almost 50 …

Rfam is a database of RNA families where each of the 3444 families is represented by a
multiple sequence alignment of known RNA sequences and a covariance model that can be …

Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen that colonizes about 20% of the human
population. Intriguingly, this Gram-positive bacterium can survive and thrive under a wide …

RNA deep sequencing technologies are revealing unexpected levels of complexity in
bacterial transcriptomes with the discovery of abundant noncoding RNAs, antisense RNAs …

Pathogenic bacteria possess intricate regulatory networks that temporally control the
production of virulence factors, and enable the bacteria to survive and proliferate after host …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen responsible for
significant human morbidity and mortality. Post-transcriptional regulation by small RNAs …

RNA-based pathways that regulate protein expression are much more widespread than
previously thought. Regulatory RNAs, including 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions next to the …

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of both nosocomial and community-acquired
infection. Biofilm formation at the site of infection reduces antimicrobial susceptibility and can …

The first report of trans-acting RNA-based regulation in bacterial cells dates back to 1984.
Subsequent studies in diverse bacteria unraveled shared properties of trans-acting small …
