Abstract

Whole genome sequences (DNA sequences) of four uncultured archeon clones (1B6:CR626858.1, 4B7:CR626856.1, 22i07:JQ768096.1 and 19c08:JQ768095.1) were collected from NCBI BioSample database for the construction of digital data on tRNA. tRNAscan-SE 2.0 and ENDMEMO tools were used to identify and sketch tRNA structure as well as calculate Guanine-Cytosine (GC) percentage respectively. Eight true/functional tRNAs were identified from above 4 sequences which showed cove score greater than 20% with no variable loop. The tRNAs from the uncultured archeon clones were classified as Ala, Arg, Ile, Thr, Pro and Val type tRNA with cove score ranging from 34.22%-79.03%. The range of GC content was found 42.89%-56.91%; while tRNA contributed GC content ranging from 52%-64.86% to the total GC content in these sequences. The data fabricated in this study could be very useful for studying the diversity of tRNA among prokaryotes.
