From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HgcG RNA

Type:	Gene;
2° structure:	Predicted; PFOLD
Seed alignment:	Bateman A
Avg length:	239.5 nucleotides
Avg identity:	76%

The HgcG RNA gene is a non-coding RNA that was identified computationally and experimentally verified in AT-rich hyperthermophiles.^[1] The genes from this screen were named hgcA through hgcG ("high GC"). HgcG is of unknown function. hgcG is significantly similar to a region of the Archaeoglobus fulgidus genome.
