Abstract

Significance: Understanding the functions of cellular transcripts based on their sequence is challenging, in particular for noncoding RNAs, which tend to lack easily recognizable motifs. A more functionally relevant criterion is the association of RNAs with cognate RNA-binding proteins. Here, we describe the gradient profiling by sequencing (Grad-seq) approach to draft global RNA landscapes through partitioning all cellular transcripts into diverse coding and noncoding groups based on their shared RNA–protein interactions. Grad-seq has enabled us to define a large class of structured small RNAs that commonly associate with the conserved RNA-binding protein ProQ and appears to constitute a new branch of posttranscriptional control in bacteria. The generic nature of the Grad-seq approach will help to rapidly describe functional RNA landscapes in numerous understudied microbes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
