The primary transcriptome of Neisseria meningitidis and its interaction with the RNA chaperone Hfq

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
Neisseria meningitidis is a human commensal that can also cause life-threatening meningitis and septicemia. Despite growing evidence for RNA-based regulation in meningococci, their transcriptome structure and output of regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) are ...
