Intragenomic Matching Reveals a Huge Potential for miRNA-Mediated Regulation in Plants
Figure 2
Overview of the Number of miRNA Candidates at Successive Steps of the Procedure
A genome assembly and a set of annotated mRNA transcripts are input to the intragenomic matching.
Intragenomic matching. The result of the intragenomic matching generates “micromatches” consisting of pairs of a genome segment and an mRNA segment. Also shown is the recovery of miRBase 8.2 loci and families.
miSVM. Remaining number of miRNA loci and families after miSVM classification is shown (numbers in green). The number of miRNA candidate loci and families not overlapping repeat/CDS regions are shown in blue.
miHomology. Conservation filters were applied to detect the subset of miRNA candidates that have at least one homolog in one of the other two organisms.
miSquare. The conserved miRNA candidates with the additional requirement of targets orthologs.
