Effects of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) protein on gene expression in Bacillus subtilis. Bacillus subtilis

We monitored changes in Bacillus subtilis global gene expression in response to deletion or disruption of smc or ftsY. Keywords: genetic modification Overall design: We extracted RNA, reverse transcribed, labeled, and co-hybridized samples to arrays containing PCR products amplified from >99% of B. subtilis genes. We performed at least three independent replicates of each experiment.
