The paper maps sRNAs in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, identifies conserved and lineage-specific sRNAs, and shows their roles in regulating motility and metabolism.

This study identifies AdiZ, a small RNA derived from the 3'UTR of adiA mRNA in Salmonella, which regulates metabolic genes and promotes survival in macrophage vacuoles under acidic and hypoxic conditions.

The paper investigates gene loss in Vibrio parahaemolyticus pandemic clones, showing it drives wave succession through environmental and transmission advantages.

The paper experimentally links a multilocus ecospecies genotype in Vibrio parahaemolyticus to a swimming phenotype in viscous environments, showing functional coherence of ecospecies.

This study identifies ArcZ as a small RNA inhibitor of capsular hypermucoviscosity and virulence in hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae through RNA interactome profiling.
