This ncRNA 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.[1] During this screen 14 novel ncRNA genes were identified, including GlmZ, SraB, SraC and SraD.[1]
The expression of SraG was experimentally confirmed by Northern blotting which also indicated this RNA undergoes specific cleavage processing.[1] The function of this RNA is unknown.
