Candidate structured RNAs that are expressed in the fecal microbiome. a Structure diagram and RNA-Seq IGV plot of HMP2_8626, a candidate structured RNA from the 2022 set that overlaps the nr database, specifically overlapping the gene plfA. Black arrows indicate candidate structured RNAs. Gray arrows indicate predicted genes. Unlabeled genes are those predicted to be hypothetical. b Structure diagram and RNA-Seq IGV plot of HMP2_1881, a candidate structured RNA from the 3161 set often found near radical SAM protein domains. c Structure diagram and RNA-Seq IGV plot of the candidate structured RNA HMP2_7457 often found near PBP1_LacI-like and integrase protein domains. d Structure diagram and MetaRibo-Seq [30] IGV plot of HMP2_13009, a candidate structured RNA found near Cas proteins likely representing the repeats in a CRISPR array
