2 misc. RNA genes

SRP_euk_arch

-BLASTn finds the most similarity with a gene from the halobacteria Haloferax volcanii
-A signal recognition particle contains 7 subunits: six polypeptide components and one 7S RNA component (PubMed)
-This miscellaneous RNA gene probably encodes the 7S RNA subunit of the signal recognition particle

RNaseP_arch

-BLASTn finds most similarity with a gene from the halobacteria Haloferax volcanii
-It matches a partial coding sequence for the Ribonuclease P gene -This site shows alignments for all known archaeal ribonuclease P. You can align them by hand and see that our sequence closely matches the sequences in this group, especially ones like H. volcanii.
