Several Fusobacterium species, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, have been associated with cancer. Here, using differential RNA-sequencing, the authors provide high-resolution global RNA maps for five clinically relevant fusobacterial strains, elucidating basic aspects of fusobacterial gene expression and identifying multiple non-coding RNAs, including an oxygen-induced small RNA, FoxI, which represses the major outer membrane porin FomA.
