This compilation presents in a small space the tRNA sequences so far published. The numbering of tRNAPhe from yeast is used following the rules proposed by the participants of the Cold Spring Harbor Meeting on tRNA 1978 (1,2;Fig. 1). This numbering allows comparisons with the three dimensional structure of tRNAPhe. The secondary structure of tRNAs is indicated by specific underlining. In the primary structure a nucleoside followed by a nucleoside in brackets or a modification in brackets denotes that both types of nucleosides can occupy this position. Part of a sequence in brackets designates a piece of sequence not unambiguosly analyzed. Rare nucleosides are named according to the IUPACIUB rules (for complicated rare nucleosides and their identification see Table 1); those with lengthy names are given with the prefix x and specified in the footnotes. Footnotes are numbered according to the coordinates of the corresponding nucleoside and are indicated in the sequence by an asterisk. The references are restricted to the citation of the latest publication in those cases where several papers deal with one sequence. For additional information the reader is referred either to the original literature or to other tRNA sequence compilations (3-7). Mutant tRNAs are dealt with in a compilation by J. Celis (8). The compilers would welcome any information by the readers regarding missing material or erroneous presentation. On the basis of this numbering system computer printed compilations of tRNA sequences in a linear form and in cloverleaf form are in preparation.
本汇编在有限的篇幅内呈现了迄今已发表的tRNA序列。酵母苯丙氨酸tRNA（tRNAPhe）的编号采用了1978年冷泉港tRNA会议参与者提议的规则（1,2；图1）。这种编号方式便于与苯丙氨酸tRNA的三维结构进行比较。tRNA的二级结构通过特定的下划线表示。在一级结构中，一个核苷后面跟着括号中的核苷或括号中的修饰表示这两种核苷都可以占据这个位置。括号中的部分序列表示一段未明确分析的序列。稀有核苷根据IUPACIUB规则命名（复杂稀有核苷及其鉴定见表格1）；名称较长的那些核苷在前面加上x，并在脚注中注明。脚注根据相应核苷的坐标编号，并在序列中用星号表示。在几篇论文涉及同一序列的情况下，参考文献仅限于引用最新发表的文献。如需更多信息，读者可参考原始文献或其他tRNA序列汇编（3 - 7）。突变tRNA在J. 塞利斯的一篇汇编中有论述（8）。编者欢迎读者提供任何有关遗漏材料或错误表述的信息。基于这个编号系统，正在准备以线性形式和三叶草形式的tRNA序列计算机打印汇编。
