Characterization of the yeast tRNA2Sergene family: genomic organization and DNA sequence

Abstract
Purified, isolated yeast tRNA2Ser was used as a hybridization probe to estimate the number of tRNA2Ser genes in the yeast genome. Molecular clones of several of the genes were obtained. Three examples were studied in detail with respect to their genomic organization, and DNA sequences were determined for them. There appear to be eleven tRNA2Ser genes in the yeast genome. They are neither tandemly repeated nor clustered with other tRNA genes. They contain no intervening sequences.
