Small nucleolar RNA SNORD98

In molecular biology, Small Nucleolar RNA SNORD98 is a non-coding RNA molecule which functions in the biogenesis of other small nuclear RNAs. This type of modifying RNA is located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA and also often referred to as a guide RNA.
SNORD98 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the C and D box motifs. Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2′-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.
SNORD98 is predicted to guide the 2'0-ribose methylation of 18S ribosomal RNA residue G867.
