How To Install trnascan-se-common on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install trnascan-se-common on Kali Linux.

What is trnascan-se-common

trnascan-se-common is:

tRNAscan-SE identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases. Two previously described tRNA detection programs are used as fast, first-pass prefilters to identify candidate tRNAs, which are then analyzed by a highly selective tRNA covariance model. This work represents a practical application of RNA covariance models, which are general, probabilistic secondary structure profiles based on stochastic context-free grammars. tRNAscan-SE searches at ~ 30 000 bp/s. Additional extensions to tRNAscan-SE detect unusual tRNA homologues such as selenocysteine tRNAs, tRNA-derived repetitive elements and tRNA pseudogenes.

This package contains the architecture-independent common files.
