Abstract
Herein, the Trypanosoma brucei procyclic form and bloodstream form tRNA methylome is reported as revealed by small RNA bisulfite sequencing. 5-Methylcytosines were identified at six unique positions with 54 total 5-methylcytosines revealed. The main hot spot for 5-methylcytosine in tRNA is the junction between the variable region and the T-arm.
