Fig. 2.

Small RNA expression profiles detected with RNA-seq. The panels include the known sRNAs GlmZ, CyaR, MicF, McaS and RyhB, a novel sRNA with clearly defined coordinates, ES043, a novel sRNA with less defined coordinates, ES067, and a novel sRNA with vaguely defined coordinates and low expression level, ES116. The y-axes of the plots denote read coverage at each nucleotide position for the pooled fermentation and stress samples. The x-axes denote the genomic positions according to the E. coli K-12 MG1655 genome coordinates (NC_000913.2). Legend: orange lines, expression signal; dashed green lines, sRNA coordinates; dashed blue lines, intergenic region coordinates; arrows denote directions of flanking genes (blue) and sRNAs (green)
