Codon usage and modular interactions between messenger RNA coding regions and small RNAs in Escherichia coli

Abstract Background Small RNAs (sRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression in bacteria. In addition to modulating translation initiation, sRNAs can interact with mRNA coding regions to regulate mRNA stability and translation efficiency, enhancing or impeding progression of the ribosome along the m...
