====== Transfer RNA (tRNA) ======
**Transfer RNA** (**tRNA**) is [[RNA]] that participates in [[protein]] synthesis. The tRNA are small RNA molecules with two important features:
  * An [[anticodon]] region,
  * A region for attaching a specific [[amino acid]].


===== Codon Usage and tRNA =====
The availability of tRNA influences [[Codon]] usage, preference, and optimization in bacteria and viruses.((February 28, 2019 | Yulong Wei et al | Scientific Reports (journal) | An improved estimation of tRNA expression to better elucidate the coevolution between tRNA abundance and codon usage in bacteria | [[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-39369-x|https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-39369-x]]))
