title: The 'recently' split transfer RNA genes may be close to merging the two halves of the tRNA rather than having just separated them.
abstract: Arguments are presented in support of the hypothesis that the split genes of tRNAs possessing the two halves of the tRNA codified on two contiguous genes may be close to merging the two halves of the tRNA rather than having just separated them.
