Their results indicated that most of the newly discovered snoRNA targets do not overlap with the known RNA modification sites, “… suggesting potential non-canonical snoRNA functions beyond RNA ...

Left: Independent snoRNA gene unit, which is the predominant snoRNA gene organization in e.g. yeast. Middle: snoRNA hosted in the intron (red line) of a protein-coding gene. The green boxes ...

snoRNAs were thought simply to guide chemical modifications to rRNAs, but a new technique has revealed a suite of potential functions in protein secretion. A recent research effort from the University ...

Most of the newly discovered snoRNA targets do not overlap with the known RNA modification sites, suggesting that snoRNAs may have a much broader function in cells.
