We compared the RNA-Seq based transcriptome map with the available genome annotation to identify expressed, novel, and intergenic regions in the genome. Promoters and terminators were predicted across the genome to add confidence to the identified novel elements. For the first time, we report the identification of 94 sRNAs (Table 1) in the H. somni genome. The start and end for sRNA in Table 1 refer to the boundaries of transcriptionally active regions (TAR, putative sRNAs). Of these, twelve were similar to wellcharacterized sRNA families that are described in many bacterial species, such as tmRNA, 6S, and FMN ( Figure 2 ). The total of 82 novel sRNAs reported in this study has not been reported earlier.
