This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA. snoRNA U8 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.[3] U8 RNA genes have been identified in human, mouse, rat and the amphibian Xenopus laevis.[2] References1. ^{{cite journal | author = Peculis BA | title = The sequence of the 5' end of the U8 small nucleolar RNA is critical for 5.8S and 28S rRNA maturation | journal = Mol.
