tRNAscan-SE 2.0: improved detection and functional classification of transfer RNA genes
bioRxiv, 2019 tRNAscan-SE has been widely used for transfer RNA (tRNA) gene prediction for over twenty years, developed just as the first genomes were decoded. With the massive increase in quantity and phylogenetic diversity of genomes, the accurate detection and ...

Human transfer RNA modopathies: diseases caused by aberrations in transfer RNA modifications
The FEBS Journal, 2020 tRNA molecules are post‐transcriptionally modified by tRNA modification enzymes. Although composed of different chemistries, more than 40 types of human tRNA modifications play pivotal roles in protein synthesis by regulating tRNA structure and stability

MINTmap: fast and exhaustive profiling of nuclear and mitochondrial tRNA fragments from short RNA-seq data. [PDF]
, 2017 Transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) are an established class of constitutive regulatory molecules that arise from precursor and mature tRNAs. RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) has greatly facilitated the study of tRFs.

A novel mistranslating tRNA model in Drosophila melanogaster has diverse, sexually dimorphic effects
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are the adaptor molecules required for reading the genetic code and producing proteins. Transfer RNA variants can lead to genome-wide mistranslation, the misincorporation of amino acids not specified by the standard genetic code ...

GtRNAdb 2.0: an expanded database of transfer RNA genes identified in complete and draft genomes
Nucleic Acids Res., 2015 Transfer RNAs represent the largest, most ubiquitous class of non-protein coding RNA genes found in all living organisms. The tRNAscan-SE search tool has become the de facto standard for annotating tRNA genes in genomes, and the Genomic tRNA Database ...

Alternative genetic code for amino acids and transfer RNA revisited
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 The genetic code is highly conserved among all organisms and its evolution is thought to be strictly limited. However, an increasing number of studies have reported non-standard codes in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.

Transfer RNA demethylase ALKBH3 promotes cancer progression via induction of tRNA-derived small RNAs
Nucleic Acids Research, 2018 Transfer RNA is heavily modified and plays a central role in protein synthesis and cellular functions. Here we demonstrate that ALKBH3 is a 1-methyladenosine (m1A) and 3-methylcytidine (m3C) demethylase of tRNA.

Modifications and functional genomics of human transfer RNA
Cell Research, 2018 Transfer RNA (tRNA) is present at tens of millions of transcripts in a human cell and is the most abundant RNA in moles among all cellular RNAs. tRNA is also the most extensively modified RNA with, on an average, 13 modifications per molecule.

Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles in filarial nematodes: from nematode development to diagnostics [PDF]
, 2016 Parasitic nematodes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to communicate with their hosts in order to survive and successfully establish an infection. The transfer of RNA within extracellular vesicles (EVs) has recently been described as a mechanism that
