A high-resolution transcriptome map identifies small RNA regulation of metabolism in the gut microbe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a human gut microbe and an emergent model organism. Here, Ryan et al. generate single-nucleotide resolution RNA-seq data for this bacterium and map transcription start sites and noncoding RNAs, one of which modulates expression of metabolic enzymes.
