Similar to the drosophila tRNA analysis, we applied two separate
tRNA identification programs, Aragorn and tRNA-SE to the daphnia
assembly.
We located 3983 tRNAs from Aragorn, and 5440 tRNAs from tRNA-SE
(there were 489 psuedo tRNAs in tRNA-SE). We combined the analyses
and determined that there was 3798 overlapping tRNAs from both
programs. These numbers are considerably greater than the number of
tRNAs from other eukaryotes [170 to 570 *]

tRNA genes have about 50% tandem duplicates, using Anticodon
identity as duplicate. Of 3798 tRNAs, there are 1706 different
codon/scaffold genes, 473 are duplicates <= 3kb, another 400 <=
12kb, and another 1200 duplicates > 12kb / scaffold.
Reverse duplicates ("rever") are less common in nearby tRNAs than
distant ones.

Notes on tRNA clusters: these are some random observations
on a few of the larger tRNA clusters seen on the genome map
scaffold_117: many Ile-Leu duplicate pairs (~50), coincide with Bacterial-infection EST
treatment, but no gene models, some Tiling expression
scaffold_122: similar to scaffold_117, Ile-Leu (+Ser) coincide with Bacterial-infect EST
Note: these Ile-Leu coincide with the *same* EST matches for bacteria: CBT01494,
not different ones at each location.
scaffold_126: Thr repeated with some Leu, Ser
scaffold_136: various ones repeated
scaffold_12: several repated clusters of 2-3 Asn-Val pairs with one Lys, some
Tiling expression
scaffold_13: Pro (only) repeated
scaffold_1456: Ala,Pro,Phe,Glu quartet repeated 4 times
scaffold_1470: Met,Arg,Lys,Ser,Gln repeated in Bacterial EST
scaffold_152: Ile-Leu repeated a bunch, some others, Tile expression
scaffold_153: Ile-Leu as scaffold_152
scaffold_161: Val-Lys pairs
scaffold_172: Glu,Phe,Pro,Ala, quartet repeated 4 times (like scaffold_1456)
scaffold_208: Ser repeated, around EST Microcytis fed
scaffold_227: Asp repeated ~ 30 times, in clusters of 4-7, coincident with EST Titan. nanopart.
scaffold_231: Gly-Trp repeated with WFes0004351, Tile expression
scaffold_238: Thr repeated , some Tile expression
scaffold_240: clusters of 5-6 repeats of Gly, Cys,
scaffold_242: Ala, Cys with various EST stresses
scaffold_246: Ile-Leu and EST Bacterial infect
scaffold_256: Gln,Leu,Arg,Pro with EST Titan. nanopart. in 5 to 6 clusters, some Tile express.
scaffold_267: Lots of Ile-Leu and EST Bacterial infect clusters
