These small regions in elegans appear to be conserved across multiple species (as viewed in the USCS genome browser)
WABA calculations indicate coding potential, but no gene can be made.
There are a large number scattered in intronic or intergenic space. Seems like an interesting region and may turn out to be ncRNAs as one of these regions has an annotated snoRNA overlap.
