SNORD59 clan

The SNORD59 clan contains the RNA families snoZ159, SNORD59 and snosnR54. Researchers at the human snoRNA database (snoRNABase) have established that the following human and S. cerevisiae snoRNAs target modifications on orthologous positions of the ribosome: SNORD59 and snosnR54 [1]. Researchers at the plant snoRNA database have established that the following arabadopsis, human and S. cerevisiae snoRNAs target modifications on orthologous positions of the ribosome: snoZ159 and U59&SnR54 [2].

This clan contains 3 families and the total number of sequence regions in the clan is 2,838.
