Term Name:	sno(s)RNA-containing ribonucleoprotein complex
Synonyms:	small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein, small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein complex, small ribonucleoprotein, small ribonucleoprotein protein complex, snoRNP, sRNP
Definition:	A ribonucleoprotein complex that contains an RNA molecule of the snoRNA family and associated proteins. Many are involved in a step of processing of rRNA molecules: cleavage, 2'-O-methylation, or pseudouridylation, but other RNA types can be targets as well. The majority fall into one of two classes, box C/D type or box H/ACA type, which are conserved across eukaryotes and archaea. Other members include the telomerase RNA and the ribonuclease MRP RNA.
