A program is described, tRNAscan-SE, which identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases.
Abstract
We describe a program, tRNAscan-SE, which identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases. Two previously described tRNA detection programs are used as fast, first-pass prefilters to identify candidate tRNAs, which are then analyzed by a highly selective tRNA covariance model. This work represents a practical application of RNA covariance models, which are general, probabilistic secondary structure profiles based on stochastic context-free grammars. tRNAscan-SE searches at approximately 30 000 bp/s. Additional extensions to tRNAscan-SE detect unusual tRNA homologues such as selenocysteine tRNAs, tRNA-derived repetitive elements and tRNA pseudogenes.

Neogastropod phylogenetic relationships based on entire mitochondrial genomes.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses based on complete mt genome data resolved a higher number of internal branches of the caenogastropod tree than individual mt genes, and maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) phylogenetic analyses failed to recover the monophyly of Neogastopoda due to the inclusion of the tonnoidean Cymatium parthenopeum within the group.

Mitogenomic analysis of decapod crustacean phylogeny corroborates traditional views on their relationships

TL;DR: It is thought that the largely stable topology of the trees regardless of different types of analyses suggests that mitochondrial genomes show good potential to resolve the relationship within Decapoda.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RAIN outperforms the underlying microRNA-target predictions in inferring ncRNA interactions and its integration with the STRING database of protein–protein interactions.

How mutations in tRNA distant from the anticodon affect the fidelity of decoding

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present crystal structures of the 70S ribosome complex with EF-Tu and aminoacyl tRNA (native tRNA(Trp), G24A tRNAs, or the miscoding A9C tRNMs) bound to cognate UGG or near-cognate UGA codons, determined at 3.2-A resolution.

Population genomics shows no distinction between pathogenic Candida krusei and environmental Pichia kudriavzevii : One species, four names

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the genomic diversity of a yeast species that is both an opportunistic pathogen and an important industrial yeast, which is responsible for about 2% of yeast infections caused by Candida species in humans.

Improved tools for biological sequence comparison.

TL;DR: Three computer programs for comparisons of protein and DNA sequences can be used to search sequence data bases, evaluate similarity scores, and identify periodic structures based on local sequence similarity.
