rice ssRNA-seq. rice ssRNA-seq

We took advantage of ssRNA-seq technology to deeply sequence mRNAs of the model plant species Oryza sativa ssp.japonica cv Nipponbare with clear transcriptional orientations for assessing rice cis-NATs at the best possible resolution. We also deeply sequenced rice small RNAs from the same tissues as that for preparing mRNAs to investigate rice cis-NAT pairs that potentially give rise to endogenous short interfering RNAs from their overlapping regions under normal and stress conditions.
