The results were manually inspected to deduce a consensus secondary structure for the family (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The consensus structure was also independently predicted with the program locARNATE comparing the obtained predictions. The manual inspection of the sequences found with the CM using Infernal allowed finding 38 true homologues in phylogenetically related α-proteobacterial genomes. The 26 closest αr15 family members were found as tandem in the same chromosomal IGRs for the following species besides S. melilloti:
