SraC/RyeA RNA explained

SraC/RyeA RNA
Symbol:	SraC_RyeA
Rfam:	RF00101
Rna Type:	Gene sRNA
Tax Domain:	Bacteria

The SraC/RyeA RNA is a non-coding RNA that was discovered in E. coli during two large scale screens for RNAs.^{[1] [2]} The function of this RNA is currently unknown. This RNA overlaps the SdsR/RyeB RNA on the opposite strand suggesting that the two RNAs may act in a concerted manner.
