The tmRDB is a tool in the study of the structures and functions of
the tmRNA (earlier called "10S RNA"). As the name implies, tmRNA has properties of tRNA and mRNA combined in a single molecule.
The tmRDB provides aligned, annotated and phylogenetically ordered
tmRNA sequences. The alignments of the sequences represent conserved secondary
structure elements where each base pair is proven by
comparative sequence analysis.
Where possible, we established direct links to primary sources.
