Mycoplasma gallisepticum S6 - Transcriptome analysis reveals novel regulatory mechanisms in a genome-reduced bacterium

Avian bacterial pathogen M. gallisepticum is a good model for transcriptional regulation studies due to its small genome and relative simplicity. Here we used RNA-Seq combined with MS-spec proteomics to accurately map coding sequences (CDSs), transcription start sites (TSSs) and transcription terminators (TTs) and decipher their role in stress-induced transcriptional response.
