We use an excellent program called tRNAscan:
Identification of tRNA genes in genomic DNA.
Fichant and Burks, J. Mol. Biol. (1991) 220:659-671.
I have compiled and used it on SunOS (UNIX) without any problems.
The users guide says:
"The source code program has been tested on a SUN4 running under UNIX."
but I imagine it should compile without problems on other platforms.
Send an email message with the word
help
as the only text to:
bioserve at temin.lanl.gov
and you will get further instructions on how to get this program.
Cheers,
