Abstract excerpt
The evolution of tRNA genes in mitochondrial (mt) genomes is a complex process that includes duplications, degenerations, and transpositions, as well as a specific process of identity change through mutations in the anticodon (tRNA gene remolding or tRNA gene recruitment). Using amphipod-specific tRNA models for annotation, we show that tRNA duplications are more common in the mt genomes of amphipods than what...
