For the first time, we report the RNA-Seq based transcriptome map of H. somni 2336 and describe novel expressed regions in the genome. Whereas the results are interesting, we are aware of the limitations of the study. Because the RNA-Seq protocol was not strand specific, we could not determine the strand specificity of expressed novel transcripts. Therefore, Table 1 lacks information about sRNA orientation in the genome. Because strand specific information was missing, we could not describe antisense expression in the genome. For protein coding genes, we derived strand specificity based on alignment of the BLAST hit. Despite this shortcoming, we identified novel expressed regions and transcriptional patterns across the whole genome at a high coverage, which is not possible by other transcriptome analysis methods.
