ncRv0724 MTB000118
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
815417–815685 (+ strand), 269 nt, on H37Rv
(NC_000962.3).
Overlaps: Rv0723, Rv0724.
Upstream neighbour Rv0722
(227 bp).
Downstream neighbour Rv0725c
(1854 bp).
Intra-MTBC variation
| Genomes surveyed | 145,209 |
| Variable sites | 182 |
| Variants reaching 0.1 % of genomes | 0 |
| Carriers of the most widespread variant | 123 |
Coverage control
Variant density inside this RNA: 67.7 sites/100 bp, versus 67.3 in the flanking ±500 bp (GC 64.7 %). 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: COUVERTURE OK -> invariance biologique plausible
Read with care: constraint is not function. This RNA mutates like its surroundings, but no variant spreads through the population — which is evidence of selection acting on it, not evidence of what it does. Secondary-structure pairing was tested across the RNA set and did not explain this constraint.
Predicted secondary structure
68.4 % of bases are paired in the minimum-free-energy fold (184 paired, 85 unpaired). Folded in isolation; the in vivo structure may differ (partners, co-transcriptional folding).
Legacy record
Supported by sRNA-Seq in H37Rv (see DeJesus et al. 2017)
