Posttranscriptional regulation actuated by small RNAs (sRNAs) plays essential roles in a wide variety of
cellular processes, especially in stress responses and environmental signaling. Hundreds of sRNAs have
recently been discovered in archaea using genome-wide approaches but the molecular mechanisms of only a
few have been characterized experimentally. Here, we describe how to build sRNA sequencing libraries
using size-selected total RNA in the model archaeon, Haloferax volcanii, to provide a tool to further
characterize sRNAs in archaea.
