Welcome to tRNAcc 1.0

The tRNAcc software package is designed to facilitate the process of investigating the contents and contexts analysis of tRNA sites in multiple closely related bacterial genomes. The strategy is described in detail in the following publication:
H.-Y. Ou, et al. (2006). A novel strategy for identification of genomic islands by comparative analysis of the contents and contexts of tRNA sites in closely related bacteria. Nucleic Acids Res., 34, e3. [Abstract]


tRNAcc software package is available free of charge to academic users for nonprofit purposes.
Please click here to download a compressed file tRNAcc_win32.ZIP with the size of 9.6 MB, which containing the tRNAcc 1.0 package tested under MS Windows 2000, the sample data and an instruction file readme.doc (or readme.pdf).
Supplemental material containing the results of tRNAcc and/or tRIP analyses for selected bacterial speices are avialable through this site. Date relating to the bacterial species will be added regularly.
