Non-coding RNAs and functional RNA elements in Thermus thermophilus

To complete the ThermusQ database, small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and functional RNA elements found in Thermus thermophilus were sum-marized with annotations. The well-known three ncRNAs, M1 RNA, tmRNA and SRP RNA, were annotated as ttj8_nc001 to ttj8_nc003, and 10 novel RNAs were annotated as ttj8_nc004 to ttj8_nc013. Antisense RNAs for some ORFs were annotated as ttj8_EST00001 to ttj8_EST00006. In addition, a set of conserved sequences found in T. thermophilus HB27 were also described.
