The transcriptome is a powerful proxy for the physiological state of a cell,
healthy or diseased. As a result, transcriptome analysis has become a key tool in
understanding the molecular changes that accompany bacterial infections of
eukaryotic cells. Until recently, such transcriptomic studies have been
technically limited to analyzing mRNA expression changes in either the bacterial
pathogen or the infected eukaryotic host cell. However, the increasing
sensitivity of high-throughput RNA sequencing now enables "dual RNA-seq" studies,
simultaneously capturing all classes of coding and noncoding transcripts in both
the pathogen and the host. In the five years since the concept of dual RNA-seq
was introduced, the technique has been applied to a range of infection models.
This has not only led to a better understanding of the physiological changes in
pathogen and host during the course of an infection but has also revealed hidden
molecular phenotypes of virulence-associated small noncoding RNAs that were not
visible in standard infection assays. Here, we use the knowledge gained from
these recent studies to suggest experimental and computational guidelines for the
design of future dual RNA-seq studies. We conclude this review by discussing
prospective applications of the technique.
