Abstract
By using the data obtained by the DNA microarray analysis for the intergenic regions applied to RNA samples extracted from Thermus thermophilus HB8, seven small non-coding RNAs, TtR-1 to TtR-7, were found to be expressed in the cells growing in rich and/or minimal media. By analysing the time course of the expression for the cell growth in combination with the sequence comparison to the known RNAs, two RNAs, TtR-1 and TtR-2, are suggested to be riboswitches. The existence of the seven RNAs and the exact sequence and length, ranging 77-284 nt, were confirmed by the next-generation sequencing. By the combination of these two high-throughput techniques, our understanding of RNAs in the cell will be increased significantly.
