Abstract

Computational methods are being used to rapidly discover new or variant noncoding RNAs in bacteria. Some motifs function as novel riboswitches with unique biochemical characteristics, while many others remain mysterious. Details on the latest riboswitch and noncoding RNA discoveries will be presented.
