mcr16 MTB000073

ncRNA Putative small regulatory RNA

This is an RNA, not a coding gene: it belongs to a separate track and carries none of the protein evidence layers.

Location

2517032–2517134 (- strand), 103 nt, on H37Rv (NC_000962.3). Overlaps: Rv2243. Upstream neighbour Rv2242 (484 bp). Downstream neighbour Rv2244 (637 bp).

Coverage control

Variant density inside this RNA: 68.0 sites/100 bp, versus 61.6 in the flanking ±500 bp (GC 71.8 %). The flanks act as an internal witness: if variants are called normally around the RNA but none becomes widespread inside it, the constraint is real rather than a sequencing gap.

Verdict: n/a (a des variants communs)

Predicted secondary structure

68.0 % of bases are paired in the minimum-free-energy fold (70 paired, 33 unpaired). Folded in isolation; the in vivo structure may differ (partners, co-transcriptional folding).

Legacy record

mcr16, putative small regulatory RNA (See DiChiara et al., 2010), ends not mapped, ~100 nt band detected by Northern blot.
