Abstract

This is the first report on mapping the RNA-DNA hybrids in a prokaryotic genome. Using the S9.6 antibody immunoprecipitation method (S9.6-DRIP) with subsequent whole-genome sequencing, we identified 219 unique peaks of RNA-DNA hybrids in the genome of Escherichia coli TOP10. These peaks, which corresponded to 219 different genes, were predominantly distributed in the coding regions of the genome (88.12%). Analysis of individual genes containing RNA-DNA hybrids revealed that they encoded the enzymes involved in important energy and metabolic processes in prokaryotes, such as lipoic acid synthesis.
