leuX MTB000017

tRNA repeat-prone tRNA-Leu (TAA)

This is an RNA, not a coding gene: it belongs to a separate track and carries none of the protein evidence layers.

Location

1177396–1177469 (+ strand), 74 nt, on H37Rv (NC_000962.3). Intergenic (no overlapping coding sequence). Upstream neighbour Rv1052 (1284 bp). Downstream neighbour Rv1056 (159 bp).

Intra-MTBC variation

Not interpreted. tRNA loci are multi-copy or repeated, so short-read mapping accumulates artefactual variants here: the numbers below describe the mapping, not the biology of this RNA.
