RNA deep sequencing data of the whole transcriptomes of the wild-type, sigB and sigE mutant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155

To identify the SigB and SigE regulons in Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155, we constructed the sigB and sigE mutant strains and profiled the transcriptomes of the wild-type and mutant strains. Differentially expressed genes were identified pair-wisely by means of the DEGseq package in R language. 110 and 271 genes are differentially expressed in the sigB and sigE mutant strains relative to the wild-type strain, respectively. Comparison of gene expression between the wild-type, sigB, and sigE mutant strains of mycobacterium smegmatis that are aerobically grown.
