Abstract
The overwhelming majority of small
nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) fall into
two clearly defined classes characterized
by distinctive secondary structures and
sequence motifs. A small group of diverse
ncRNAs, however, shares the hallmarks
of one or both classes of snoRNAs but
differs substantially from the norm in
some respects. Here, we compile the
available information on these exceptional
cases, conduct a thorough homology
search throughout the available
metazoan genomes, provide improved
and expanded alignments, and investigate
the evolutionary histories of these
ncRNA families as well as their mutual
relationships.
