Experimental Rnomics: The Identification And Characterization Of Small Non-Protein-Coding Rna (Npcrna) In Vibrio Cholerae

Non-protein-coding RNAs (npcRNAs) are RNA that are not translated into protein but are involved in a myriad of cell regulatory processes including orchestrating bacterial general stress responses and bacterial virulence. The identification and characterization of npcRNAs from the etiologic age...
