The tRNA package allows feature information of tRNAs to be accessed and list of tRNA to be subset based on these features. The main purpose is to unify overlapping functions from the tRNAscanImport and tRNAdbImport packages. The functionality is currently under development and may change. The package expects a GRanges object with certain columns as input. The following columns are a requirement: tRNA_length, tRNA_type, tRNA_anticodon, tRNA_seq, tRNA_str, tRNA_CCA.end. Outputs of tRNAscanImport and tRNAdbImport meet these requirements.

Have a look at the vignette for an overview of the functionality. Additional functions are planned to be added in the future.
