Evolutionary patterns in the sequence and structure of transfer RNA: early origins of archaea and viruses.
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are ancient molecules that are central to translation. Since they probably carry evolutionary signatures that were left behind when the living world diversified, we reconstructed phylogenies directly from the sequence and structure of tRNA using well-established phylogenetic me...
