Abstract excerpt
Transfer RNA genes tend to be presented in multiple copies in the genomes of most organisms, from bacteria to eukaryotes. The evolution and genomic structure of tRNA genes has been a somewhat neglected area of molecular evolution. Escherichia coli, the first phylogenetic species for which more than two different strains have been sequenced, provides an invaluable framework to study the evolution of tRNA genes. In...
