The columns under the amino acid name show the number of tRNA isoacceptor genes determined for each amino acid indicated, while neighboring columns show the respective percentage of the total number of tRNA genes for that isoacceptor in that particular species. Cells with characters in bold/italic font show numbers that differ significantly for that particular tRNA from the other species. The taxon indicated as gambiae AgamP4* refers to the numbers obtained by Behura and Severson (Behura and Severson 2011; see Results). The four additional columns at the right-hand side of the first part of the table show additional data such as (from left to right) the number of pseudogenes detected (PG), the total number of tRNA genes in the species (Σ), the genome size based on the assemblies (Mb) and the number of tRNA genes per Mb of genomic sequence (F).
