Methylophilales-1 RNA motif

The Methylophilales-1 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics.[1] Energetically stable tetraloops often occur in this motif. The Methylophilales-1 motif is found in Methylophilales and metagenomic sequences derived from lake sediment.
