tRNAdbImport

The tRNAdb and mttRNAdb (Juehling et al. 2009) is a compilation of tRNA sequences and tRNA genes. It is a follow up version of the database of Sprinzl et al. (2005). Using tRNAdbImport the tRNAdb can be accessed as outlined on the website trna.bioinf.uni-leipzig.de directly via R. The results are returned as a GRanges object and can be further used in a BioC context.
