Abstract :
Homo sapiens C/D box snoRNA U36C. This snoRNA is an human orthologue of chicken U36 snoRNA, initially characterized by a bioinformatics search for C/D motives in a vertebrate intron database (Nicoloso et al. 1996). U36C shares the same host gene with the C/D box snoRNAs U36A, U36B and U24 (RPL7A). U36C is predicted to guide the 2'O-ribose methylation of 28S rRNA A3703.
