Genomic distribution of the known miRNAs across goat chromosomes.

<p>The numbers at the bottom of the chromosome schematic bars represent amounts of miRNAs detected on each chromosome. Red circles at the right of the chromosomes represent the known miRNAs located on the chromosomes. The blue bar on chromosome 21 represents the miRNA cluster at 62.0 Mb—63.0 Mb region. It is noteworthy that many miRNAs on the same chromosome (i.e. the miRNA cluster on chromosome 21) are compactly arrayed and may not be distinguishable in this figure due to their close proximity.
