Ocean-V RNA
Consensus secondary structure of Ocean-V RNAs
Identifiers
Symbol Ocean-V
Rfam RF01714
Other data
RNA type sRNA
Domain(s) Ocean metagenome

The Ocean-V RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure discovered using bioinformatics.[1] Only a few Ocean-V RNA sequences have been detected, all in sequences derived from DNA that was extracted from uncultivated bacteria found in ocean water. As of 2010, no Ocean-V RNA has been detected in any known, cultivated organism.[1]
