Relative tRNA gene copy number is lower in C. albicans than in other fungi. The tRNA gene copy number was determined for each tRNA isoacceptor using tRNAscan-SE [40], and the gene copy number of each group of isoacceptors was summed and divided by the number of times the respective amino acid was present in each ORFeome. In order to carry out comparisons between ORFeomes, data obtained for individual amino acids was averaged into a single column for each organism. Values are presented as tRNA gene copy number per 100 000 cognate amino acids. A. fumigatus and C. albicans have the lowest tRNA gene copy number (tRNA abundance) per aa, while C. bayanus and S. mikatae have the highest.
