This non-coding RNA was discovered in the bacteria Escherichia coli during a large scale computational screen for transcription signals and genomic features of known small RNA-encoding genes. During this screen 14 novel ncRNA genes were identified, including GlmZ, SraB, SraC and  SraD.
This newly discovered non-coding RNA was identified in the bacteria Escherichia coli through a systematic computational search for transcriptional markers and genomic attributes of small RNA-gene precursors. As a result, 14 novel ncRNA genes were discovered, including GlmZ, SraB, SraC, and SraD.
