ARWEN, tRNA detection in metazoan mitochondrial sequences
Dean Laslett, an Australian specialist in stable RNAs, is the developer of ARWEN. There is a version for download which requires compilation with a C-compiler (for example gcc -o arwen arwen1.2.3.c: ignore any warnings about trigraphs.). Test results from a comparison between tRNAscan-SE and ARWEN are found here.
Input sequence (both strands will be searched, max. 15 MB)
Notes
The input sequence will be searched in both directions and it is assumed that it has a circular topology.
