Parallel evolution of truncated transfer RNA genes in arachnid mitochondrial genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2008

Masta Susan E, Boore Jeffrey L

Abstract excerpt

The cloverleaf secondary structure of transfer RNA (tRNA) is highly conserved across all forms of life. Here, we provide sequence data and inferred secondary structures for all tRNA genes from 8 new arachnid mitochondrial genomes, including representatives from 6 orders. These data show remarkable reductions in tRNA gene sequences, indicating that T-arms are missing from many of the 22 tRNAs in the genomes of 4...
