Abstract excerpt
The complement of tRNA genes within a genome is typically considered to be a (relatively) stable characteristic of an organism. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial tRNA gene set composition can be more flexible than previously appreciated, particularly regarding tRNA gene copy number. We report the high-rate occurrence of spontaneous, large-scale, tandem duplication events in laboratory populations of the...
