  1. Considers only A, G, C or U nucleotides.
  2. Considers all nucleotides.
  3. Includes only G:C, A:U, and G:U base-pairings predicted with comparative analysis.
  4. Average sequence identity for all pairwise comparisions between sequences. Number of pairwise comparisions equals (n2-n) where n is the number of sequences considered.
  5. Only Type I tRNAs are considered.
