Transcriptome Sequencing Data Sets for Determining Gene Expression Changes Mediated by Phase-Variable DNA Methyltransferases in Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Strains Isolated from Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major bacterial cause of exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here, we report high-depth coverage transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data from two NTHi strains, each encoding a different phase-variable methyltransferase. modA phase variation results in gene expression differences. These data will serve as an important resource for future studies.
