Terminus est: Repurposing public RNA-seq data to map 3' transcript termini in bacteria.

Repurposed public RNA-seq data enables mapping 3' transcript termini across a diverse collection of bacteria, providing a broad resource for studying termination and processing.

• Why it matters: Transcript termination and RNA processing are key to gene regulation, but systematic maps of 3' ends across many bacterial species are limited.
• What they did: Bar and colleagues repurpose publicly available RNA sequencing datasets to identify 3' transcript termini, then perform initial analyses of how diverse and conserved these termini are.
• The result: The resulting termini map supports investigations into termination and processing and offers a starting point for comparing diversity and conservation across bacteria.
