Project description:By doing ChIP-seq with antibodies against two P23-45 RNA polymerases gp64 and gp96 we showed that both RNA polymerases interact with the phage genome at the early stage of infection. Gp96 interacts with pre-early P23-45 genes, while gp64 interacts with pre-early, early and some middle-stage genes.
Project description:We performed the long-read RNA sequencing technique ONT-cappable-seq on RNA samples of T. thermophilus infected with phage P23-45 5 minutes post-infection. Using this approach, we obtained the primary transcriptome at the early infection stage and sequenced it in full-length. Based on this data, we were able to identify viral transcription start sites and termination sites and uncover distinct promoter motifs.
