  1. 1 Considers only A, G, C or U nucleotides.
  2. 2 Considers all nucleotides.
  3. 3 Includes only G:C, A:U and G:U base-pairings predicted with comparative analysis.
  4. 4 Average sequence identities for all pairwise comparisons between sequences. Number of pairwise comparisons equals (n2-n) where n is the number of sequences considered.
  5. 5 Only Type I tRNAs are considered.
