{"symbol":"SNORD7","synonyms":["MGU6-47","Z30"],"name":"small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 7","description":"This gene encodes a spliceosomal small nuclear RNA that has orthologs in S. pombe and D. melanogaster. In S. pombe, this gene is required for site-specific 2\u0027-O-methylation of U6 snRNA at position A41. While this is not an essential gene for S. pombe growth, loss of this gene\u0027s function may result in a slight decrease in mRNA splicing efficiency.
