Chlorobi-1 RNA
Consensus secondary structure of Chlorobi-1 RNAs
Identifiers
Symbol	Chlorobi-1
Rfam	RF01696
Other data
RNA type	sRNA

The Chlorobi-1 RNA motif is a conserved RNA secondary structure identified by bioinformatics.^[1] It is predicted to be used only by Chlorobi, a phylum of bacteria. The motif consists of two stem-loops that are followed by an apparent rho-independent transcription terminator. The motif is presumed to function as an independently transcribed non-coding RNA.

A number of other RNAs were identified in the same study, including:^[1]

• Bacteroidales-1 RNA motif
• CrcB RNA Motif
• Gut-1 RNA motif
• JUMPstart RNA motif
• Lactis-plasmid RNA motif
• Lacto-usp RNA motif
• MraW RNA motif
• Ocean-V RNA motif
• PsaA RNA motif
• Pseudomon-Rho RNA motif
• Rne-II RNA motif
