Figure 2.
Genomic location of the major tRNA clusters on chromosome 6. (a) Ideogram of human chromosome 6, indicating the approximate location of the 6 tRNA clusters (I–VI) spread through a 2.7-Mb region corresponding to 26,284,348–28,973,050 of build GRCh37/hg19. Solid black lines within the clusters represent tRNA genes. A plot of GC percentage is shown immediately beneath the tRNA genes. Self-homology from the region is shown as a pair-wise alignment using YASS (www.http://bioinfo.lifl.fr/yass/index.php). (b) Pair-wise alignment of the cluster VI subregion that contains a sequence arranged in tandem, corresponding to 28,731,201–28,806,200 of build GRCh37/hg19. The location of tRNA genes and LTR elements within this 75-kb region are indicated, as is a plot showing the percentage of GC content.
