Project description:Small RNAs were isolated from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermoproteus tenax and subjected to Illumina Hiseq2000 sequencing. The RNA reads revealed significant abundance of constitutively transcribed CRISPR RNAs and a plethora of C/D box sRNAs. The presence of a rare RNase P RNA variant was verified. Circular RNA molecules could be identified.
