Cloning, characterization, and expression of microRNAs from the Asian malaria mosquito, -3

Signs indicate conservation. The mature miRNA is marked in red while miRNA* is marked in blue. Note the perfect conservation of the mature miRNA (red), high conservation of the miRNA* sequence (blue), and lower conservation of the surrounding stem and loop structure, a hallmark conservation pattern of pre-miRNAs. Shown on the right are the predicted secondary structures of corresponding miRNA hairpins. The mature miRNA is marked in red on the hairpin.Copyright information:Taken from "Cloning, characterization, and expression of microRNAs from the Asian malaria mosquito, "http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/9/244BMC Genomics 2008;9():244-244.Published online 23 May 2008PMCID:PMC2430712.
