Genomic position is measured relative to the 5' end of tRNA-Phe. Locus position is relative to the first nucleotide of the start codon for coding sequences. Locus position for transfer RNAs are relative to the beginning of their 5' end. The location of the D-loop is relative to the end of tRNA-Pro, and substitutions occurring in the D-loop are indicated by bold type. Positions showing evidence of recurrent mutation are highlighted in bold print.
