There is an excellent tRNA identification program called tRNAscan available
by email request to
bioserve at genome.lanl.gov
The e-mail message should contain the single word "trna-scan".
See the paper by Fitchant and Burks in J. Mol. Biol., 220: 659-671
(1991).
We use this program on Sun SPARCstations but as the C code is provided,
it should be implementable on a PC.
I hope this helps,
Tim
