RNA of unknown function

Secondary structure of RUF21, an RNA of unknown function from S. cerevisiae[1]

RNA of unknown function (RUF) is a generic name, often appended with a numeric identifier, for a non-coding RNA molecule which has been partially characterised or predicted but the biological function has yet to be determined. The same convention is used for proteins, they can be named domains of unknown function (DUFs).

Examples of RUFs include:
