The tmRNA Website
The tmRNA Website is a comprehensive database of transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) and SmpB protein sequences involved in bacterial trans-translation. Contains 1,716 unique tmRNA sequences from bacteria and organelles, 2,258 unique SmpB sequences, with 9,387 tmRNA instances across public databases. Provides sequence alignments, structural annotations, BLAST search tools, and Krona-based phylogenetic visualization.
