Figure 7From: Multiple distinct small RNAs originate from the same microRNA precursorsConservation of miRNA-like RNAs and miRNAs. The newly identified miRNA-like RNAs are in red and the annotated miRNAs and miRNA*s are in blue. Also included are the consensus sequences. (a) Conservation of miR159a.2-5p/miR159a.2-3p and miR159a.1/miR159a.1* (that is, miR159a/miR159a*) in four plants, A. thaliana (ath), O. sativa (osa), P. patens (ppt) and M. truncatula (mtr). (b) Conservation of miR319.2/miR319b.2* and miR319.1/miR319b.1* (that is, miR319/miR319b*) in four plants, Arabidopsis, rice, Medicago and P. trichocarpa (ptc). (c) Conservation of miR7-1 in human and miR7a-1 in mouse.Back to article page
