RUF2 is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) present within the plasmodium genome. Bioinformatic studies predicted that RUF2 was present within the plasmodium genome and the expression of this ncRNA was verified by Northern Blot. [1] The location of this ncRNAs was subsequently mapped within the P. falciparum strain 3DF genome by primer extension. RUF2 is a novel RNA of unknown function but has shown to contain some structural similarity with the H/ACA box snoRNA but no known targets have been identified.
