ncRv13303 MTB000153
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
3690941–3691059 (+ strand), 119 nt, on H37Rv
(NC_000962.3).
Intergenic (no overlapping coding sequence).
Upstream neighbour Rv3303c
(3 bp).
Downstream neighbour Rv3304
(82 bp).
Intra-MTBC variation
| Genomes surveyed | 145,209 |
| Variable sites | 48 |
| Variants reaching 0.1 % of genomes | 1 |
| Carriers of the most widespread variant | 586 |
Coverage control
Variant density inside this RNA: 40.3 sites/100 bp, versus 56.3 in the flanking ±500 bp (GC 69.7 %). 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: n/a (a des variants communs)
Predicted secondary structure
60.5 % of bases are paired in the minimum-free-energy fold (72 paired, 47 unpaired). Folded in isolation; the in vivo structure may differ (partners, co-transcriptional folding).
Literature no publication
No mention of 'ncRv13303' anywhere in the TB literature corpus.
Read with care. Absence of literature does not imply absence of function; simply that no primary study addresses this locus under this name.
Sweep: tbmonitor TB corpus (~330k PubMed abstracts), single grouped UNION-ALL sweep of 2026-08-17 over the 72 ncRNA never previously searched; positive controls MTS2823 (6 papers), mcr11 (3), mcr7 (2) all returned their known hits, so a zero here is a measured absence and not a broken query.
Legacy record
Supported by sRNA-Seq in H37Rv (see DeJesus et al. 2017)
