RNA-seq profiling reveals novel target genes of LexA in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

LexA is a well-established transcriptional repressor of SOS genes induced by DNA damage in E. coli and other bacterial species. However, LexA in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 has been suggested not to be involved in SOS response. In this study, we performed RNA-seq analysis of the wi...
