Transcription termination in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii

Currently little is known about transcription termination in archaea. Archaeal genomes are densely packed, thus correct transcription termination is an important factor for orchestrated gene expression, since faulty termination for instance can result in aberrant transcription of downstream encoded genes. Here, we provide paired end transcriptome sequencing reads of the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii generated using TEX+ enrichment of termination sites as well as TEX- without enrichment. Furthermore, we provide single end transcriptome sequencing data of this organism.
