SscA RNA
Template:Abbreviation
Type: Gene;
2° structure: Predicted; PFOLD
Seed alignment: Bateman A
Avg length: 96.3 nucleotides
Avg identity: 75%

The SscA ncRNA gene was identified computationally in AT-rich hyperthermophiles using the QRNA software [1]. SscA stands for Secondary Structure Conserved A. SscA is 97 nucleotides in length and is of unknown function. This RNA is currently restricted to pyrococcal species.
