MiniBac-seq enables bacterial RNA-seq from ultra-low input and profiling cells with arrested growth

We developed miniBac-seq, a strand-specific method for high-quality bacterial RNA-seq library construction from sub-nanogram of total RNA, equivalent to a few thousand bacterial cells; we also tested its potent to be adopted as a single cell RNA-seq method. Here we provide the supporting data to the paper introducing this technology. Overall design: We used E. coli K12 BW25113, typically cultivated in M63B1 broth and extracted total RNA at the Log phase.
