Alternative genetic code for amino acids and transfer RNA revisited
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
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.

Genetic innovation may be linked to evolutionary success, and indeed, the invasive round goby mitochondrial genome sequence carries two novel features not previously described in Benthophilinae.

Tissue-specific differences in human transfer RNA expression. [PDF]
Over 450 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes have been annotated in the human genome. Reliable quantitation of tRNA levels in human samples using microarray methods presents a technical challenge.

Aim: Recently, a tumor cell-platelet interaction was identified in different tumor entities, resulting in a transfer of tumor-derived RNA into platelets, named further “tumor-educated platelets (TEP)”.

Modifications and functional genomics of human transfer RNA
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.

The current study describes the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of an egg parasitoid wasp, Telenomus remus Nixon 1937. This mitogenome is 16,014 bp in length, consisting of 37 typical coding genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA ...

Transfer RNA-derived small RNA: an emerging small non-coding RNA with key roles in cancer
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) promote protein translation by binding to the corresponding amino acids and transporting them to the ribosome, which is essential in protein translation.

ER Membrane Contact Sites: Key Platforms for Biogenesis of RNA-Containing Extracellular Vesicles
The mechanisms by which cytoplasmic cargoes such as RNAs are incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs) are poorly understood. In a recent article published in Developmental Cell, we describe a novel function of endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact

7-Methylguanosine Modifications in Transfer RNA (tRNA)
More than 90 different modified nucleosides have been identified in tRNA. Among the tRNA modifications, the 7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is found widely in eubacteria, eukaryotes, and a few archaea.
