The default tRNAscan-SE (Lowe et el. 1997) output is formatted text document containing text blocks per tRNA delimited by an empty line. To access the information in a BioC context the conversion to a GRanges object comes to mind. This task is performed by import.tRNAscanAsGRanges(), which uses regular expressions to extract the information from the text blocks. The result can be used directly or saved as gff3 file for further use.

Refer to the vignette for an example usage case.

Installation

The current version of the tRNAscanImport package is available from Bioconductor.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("tRNAscanImport")
# Load and attach thepackage
library("tRNAscanImport")

Literature

Depending on the development on tRNAscan-SE this might become redundant, since a gff3 export by tRNAscan-SE might resolve the conversion issue.
