# s-gene: shorter than 18 nt

<< (..) current approaches underestimate reproducibly detected RNAs that are shorter than 18 nt [ units of nucleotides ] and theoretical considerations suggest that such shorter RNAs could be used for sequence-specific gene regulation in organisms like C. elegans that have small genomes >>
