WT, ∆rhlB and ∆rppH mRNA half-life profiling.

WT, ∆rhlB and ∆rppH strains were globally profiled for mRNA half-lives using rifampicin treatment followed by RNA-seq. Wild type(WT) was compared to ∆rhlB (deleted RNA helicase RhlB gene) and ∆rppH (deleted RppH gene) strains WT and mutant strains ( ∆rhlB and ∆rppH) were globally profiled for mRNA half-lives using rifampicin treatment followed by RNA-seq. Biological samples were taken before rifampicin treatment (0 minute), then at 1, 3, and 9 minutes after rifampicin treatment. Two biologycal replicates were performed.
