From now on, the #SubtiWiki interaction widget also includes interactions that involve RNA molecules (with proteins, metabolites, or other RNAs)! Please contact us if you miss any RNA interaction in B. subtilis!

The #SubtiWiki paper of the month for February has been selected. Great work on the final phase of cell division.
