All 0 values were given a pseudocount of 0.01. Counts are normalized so that the averages of ssrA, ssrS, and rnpB are stable throughout the decay from 0 to 20 minutes"	"data_processing.8"

"Cells were harvested after the addition of rifampicin  (250 μg/ml) to stop nascent transcription and quenched with stop solution (10% phenol in ethanol). The first timepoint was taken 3.5 minutes after addition of the antibiotic to give time for the diffusion of rifampicin into the cells and binding of the antibiotic to RNA polymerase. This sample was called 0 minutes, and further samples were taken at 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 20 minutes from wild-type E. coli and the RNase III mutant. A partial biological replicate of wild-type was taken (0, 2.5, and 7.5 minutes), to examine the reproducibility between samples."	"treatment_protocol_ch1.1"
