Identification of tRNA half precursors for tRNA splicing in trans. The observed N. equitans genome coverage of Illumina HiSeq2000 sequence reads pinpoints the termini of tRNA half precursors. Annotation of the tRNA precursors containing sequences that assemble into the final tRNA (boxed) and GC-rich reverse complementary stretches that identify the matching half (underlined) are taken from [17].
