Retrogene-like structures encoding miRNAs.
Screenshots of the UCSC Genome Browser [48] displaying RefSeq genes (blue lines with hatch marks), miRNA hairpins (red blocks), snoRNAs (green blocks with hatch marks), repeat-elements (blue blocks with hatch marks) and TSDs (black blocks) are shown for the genomic regions surrounding mir-215 (A), mir-549 (B), mir-1266 (C) and mir-605 (D). The thick regions in the red blocks represent the mature regions of the miRNAs. The 5′ TSD is annotated as TSD5 and the 3′ TSD is annotated as TSD3. Shown below the genomic structure illustrations are the sequences corresponding to these regions. In the sequences, the miRNA hairpins are underlined, the predicted snoRNAs are shown in uppercase italics, the boxes ACA and H are respectively shown in a box and a shaded box and putative poly(A) tails are underlined using a wavy line.
