[PRECELLYS] Total RNA extraction from Rhizobium Etli bacteria or bacteroid pellets

The laboratory is focused on the study of the genomewide transcriptome of R. etli under diverse conditions. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in the intricate regulation of bacterial gene expression, allowing bacteria to quickly adapt to changing environments. In this study, we have compared an extensive compilation of these non-coding RNA predictions to intergenic expression data of a wholegenome high-resolution tiling array in the soildwelling a-proteobacterium Rhizobium etli [1].
