Streptococcus sRNA

In molecular biology, "Streptococcus" sRNAs are small RNAs produced by species of "Streptococcus" bacteria. Several screens (both computational and experimental) have identified numerous sRNAs in different species and strains of "Streptococcus" including "S. pneumoniae", "S. pyogenes", "S. agalactiae" and "S.mutans". The function of most of these is currently unknown, however a few have been characterised including FasX small RNA. Many sRNAs have roles in pathogenesis.
