Abstract
tRNAs and their derivatives are known to be involved in various genetic processes from bacteria to primates. Revealing evolutionary ancestors and relatives of the modern tRNAs with further functional analysis could shed light on their role in expansion of interspersed repeats, their promoter activity, and so on. Although tRNA-like sequences were earlier found and described in many gene regions and most known SINE repeats contain tRNA part, there are still a lot of unknown entries. tRNA-like sequences could also help to find out new families of genetic repeats. Presence of tRNA-like sequences was detected in various genetic structures. Their relative distribution pattern over these sequences and preliminary functional analysis are presented.
