tRNAscan-SE employs
- Infernal: the RNA covariance similarity search package
(Nawrocki & Eddy, Bioinformatics 29: 2933-2935, 2013),
- a modified, optimized version of tRNAscan v1.3
(Fichant & Burks, J. Mol. Biol. 220: 659-671, 1991),
- a new implementation of a multistep weight matrix algorithm
for identification of eukaryotic tRNA promoter regions
(Pavesi et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 22: 1247-1256, 1994),
- the RNA covariance analysis package Cove v.2.4.2
(Eddy & Durbin, Nucl. Acids Res. 22: 2079-2088, 1994)
