Number of paralogs (miRNAs as well as candidate miRNAs) identified in in this study versus and rice, from 21 conserved miRNA families

Note the general lack of correlation among sizes of miRNA families among the three species, with the exception of the smallest families. The miRNAs families were determined after removal of redundant sequences and after selection for those with complete matches to the poplar genome sequence.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Conservation and divergence of microRNAs in "</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/8/481</p><p>BMC Genomics 2007;8():481-481.</p><p>Published online 31 Dec 2007</p><p>PMCID:PMC2270843.</p><p>
