Abstract excerpt
U24 and U36 are members of the box C/D-containing group of antisense snoRNAs which possess long (9-21 nucleotide) conserved stretches of sequence complementarity to 18S and 28S rRNA and act as guides for the site-specific ribose methylation of rRNA. Both U24 and two variants of U36 are encoded within introns of the human and chicken rpL7a genes. We now report that an additional U36 variant is encoded within...
