a Gain, loss, and duplications of tRNAs in primates computed from the most fine-grained synteny definition based on individual MSA blocks and b by joining adjacent blocks as described in the text. Gain and duplication events were assigned to the edge leading to the last common ancestor of all observed co-orthologs, except for groups that contained only a macaque and a human or a chimpanzee tRNA; in these cases we assigned two lineage specific gains. Green numbers refer to the total number of tRNAs detected by tRNAscan-SE; green numbers in parentheses count the pseudogenes found in the set of all tRNAs. Blue numbers refer to the total gain, i.e., the sum of event seeding new connected components and duplication events with a connected component. The number of identified local duplication events is given in parentheses in blue. The red numbers indicate the loss events on the corresponding branch. Species abbreviations: human, Homo sapiens: Hsa; chimapanzee, Pan troglodytes: Ptr; gorilla, Gorilla gorilla: Ggo; orangutan, Pongo abelii: Pab; gibbon, Nomascus leucogenys: Nle; rhesus macaque, Macaca mulatta: Mmu
