The novel cis-encoded small RNA h2cR is a negative regulator of hfq2 in Burkholderia cenocepacia.
Small non-coding regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) post-transcriptionally affect multiple phenotypes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, yet most of the underlying regulatory mechanisms and the nature of the target mRNAs remain unclear. Here we report the identification and functional analysis of the novel cis-enc...
