title: An algorithm for discriminating sequences and its application to yeast transfer RNA.
abstract: We describe an algorithm for finding nucleotide residues strongly correlated with the amino acid acceptor functions of transfer RNAs. The algorithm exploits the fact that each tRNA accepts only one of 20 amino acids. The algorithm is applied to 37 Saccharomyces cerevisiae transfer RNAs.
