Missing tRNAs

trnD, trnE, trnT

  
  1. t Uses the TAG stop codon, while those without notation all use TAA.
  2. # The predicted trnF gene lies entirely within the nad5 ORF.
  3. *The gene length includes both reading frames inferred to constitute the protein.
  4. **The start and stop positions of the ribosomal RNAs were predicted based on conserved multiple alignment positions and the borders with neighboring genes.
