FIG 5 .

Read coverage and decay near novel RNase III cleavage site aceEF that shows increased degradation after RNase III cleavage and stabilization in the rnc deletion mutant. Normalized read coverage is displayed along the coordinates of the E. coli genome. Degradation throughout time is shown for both the WT and the rnc deletion mutant, with time zero minutes shown in dark green and lighter green at 20 min. Half-lives in both the WT strain and the rnc deletion mutant were calculated and displayed only when the R² value was ≥0.7. The cleavage site is identified with a gray box.
