Genome-wide analysis of rice cis-natural antisense transcription under cadmium exposure using strand-specific RNA-Seq
Abstract Background The elucidation of novel transcripts and their expression in response to various stress conditions is necessary to understand the transcriptional network of plants as an adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses.We performed strand-specific RNA-Seq (ssRNA-Seq) on rice exposed to cadmium (Cd) for 24 h and investigated the express
