INTRODUCTION

The 1995 compilation contains 2700 sequences of tRNAs and tRNA genes. The last edition which appeared two years ago ( 1 ) was supplemented by 694 new sequences. The sequences of tRNA mutants and of tRNAs originating from transformed or differentiated cells were not considered.

The tRNAs included in the compilation are listed in Table 1 . Each tRNA or tRNA gene is specified by the (abbreviated) name of the organism from which it was isolated and a four digit code: the first three digits identify the organism, the last digit . . . [Full Text of this Article]
