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).
Intra-MTBC variation
| Genomes surveyed | 145,209 |
| Variable sites | 70 |
| Variants reaching 0.1 % of genomes | 1 |
| Carriers of the most widespread variant | 4,147 |
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
