| Greetings! I'm working with GenBank annotated files. The feature key source has a mandatory identifier /mol_type It can have a few values, among them there are 'genomic DNA' and 'tRNA'. I'm interested in genes, coding for tRNA. But in both cases, the origin (sequence in genBank record) is the same. For instance: LOCUS NC_003076 72 bp DNA linear PLN 14-AUG-2008 DEFINITION Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 5, complete sequence. ACCESSION NC_003076 REGION: 26938898..26938969 ...

| Just in case, if somebody encounters the same problem... I've sent a question to NCBI and they answered the following: These sequences are from the genomic DNA and are known to encode tRNA genes. There are so many tRNA gene sequences available with good sequence conservation that no sequencing center or lab (theoretically) has to try to isolate tRNA and reverse engineer it. |
