Superfamily tRNA                   RST

Full classification: Retrotransposon, non-LTR (SINE), tRNA

tRNA elements are Class 1 transposons.

They are small (<1kb) non-autonomous elements, derived from tRNAs and probably replicated by RNase PolIII. Upon insertion, they create a variable bp Target site duplication (TSD).
