RNA deep sequencing data of the whole transcriptomes of the wild-type and furA triple mutant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155

To identify the FurA regulon in Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155, we constructed a furA triple mutant with deletion of three furA paralogous genes (MSMEG_6383, MSMEG_3460, and MSMEG_6253) and profiled the transcriptomes of the wild-type and furA triple mutant strains. Differentially expressed genes were identified pair-wisely by means of the edgeR package in R language. 742 genes were differentially expressed in the furA triple mutant compared to the wild-type strain. Overall design: Six libraries constructed: Each three replicates of furA mutant strain and wild-type in Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155
