Promoter and regulon analysis of nitrogen assimilation factor, sigma54, reveal alternative strategy for E. coli MG1655 flagellar biosynthesis.

abstract：:Variable regions within ribosomal RNAs frequently vary in length as a result of incorporating products of slippage. This makes constructing secondary structure models problematic because base homology is difficult or impossible to establish between species. Here, we model such a region by comparing the results of the ...
