SNORA44 clan

The SNORA44 clan contains the RNA families SNORA44, SNORA58, snR161 and snR9. Researchers at the human snoRNA database (snoRNABase) have established that the following human and S. cerevisiae snoRNAs target modifications on orthologous positions of the ribosome: SNORA44 and snR161, SNORA58 and snR9 [1].

This clan contains 4 families and the total number of sequence regions in the clan is 1,556.
